I'm trying to install FME but I am getting errors. If there was a log file, it might be helpful to identify what is going on!

Keywords: desktop install log server install log command line install

I'm pleased to announce that an installation log file is automatically created when installing FME 2021.0 and newer when using the Setup.exe after extracting the files.

You can run the FME installer using the command line and specify that it log out to a text file.

Use the following command inside a Command Prompt as Administrator, with the appropriate FME installer filename:

msiexec /i fme-desktop-b15573-win-x86.msi /l*v log.txt

The same applies for FME Server:

 

 

msiexec /i fme-server-b19999-win-128.msi /l*v log.txt

Would be great if this was an option in the installer wizzard, or the default setting.

I don't see many of my customers using a command line like that.
