Truxton logs things in different places for different reasons.
Contents
Setup
When the user runs Truxton_Installer.exe a file will be created in the C:\ProgramData\Truxton\Setup folder.
The name of the file will begin with TruxtonSetup_ followed by a timestamp and an extension of .log
Truxton.msi
When the setup executable spawns the Truxton.msi, it will tell Windows to write log messages to the user's local app data Low folder.
Easiest way to get there is to paste %localappdata%Low into the File Explorer path control.
The reason why it is written here is because the Windows Installer will have permission to write to this folder.
Truxton Analyst Desktop
Teh analyst desktop GUI will log to local app data Probity\Truxton folder.
Easiest way to get there is to paste %localappdata%\Probity\Truxton into the File Explorer path control.
