McAfee Endpoint Security 10.7.x installation files The McAfee Endpoint Security 10.7.x installer tracks details about installation, uninstallation, and migration in log files that you can use to verify results and troubleshoot problems. Default location of installation log files By default, the installer saves the installation log files to this location: When... Log location Path Deploying remotely (using McAfee ePO, Endpoint Upgrade Assistant, or a third-party tool) Windows System TEMP folder C:\Windows\TEMP\McAfeeLogs Running the installer locally on the endpoint User TEMP folder — %Temp%\McAfeeLogs C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\McAfeeLogs Endpoint users must have permission to access the file. The path for the installation log location can include case-sensitive folders. After installation, the Endpoint Security self-protection feature prevents changing the case sensitivity of the endpoint log location configured in the Common Options policy or moving the log location to a case-sensitive folder. Changing the location of installation log files Use one of these command-line options to change the location for the log files: /log"install_log_path" /l"install_log_path" /l*v"install_log_path" where: "install_log_path" — Specifies where to save the installation log files. The installer creates an Endpoint folder at the specified location and saves the log files to this folder. *v — Specifies verbose (more descriptive) logging entries. Example /l"D:\Log Files" Installs the product log files under D:\Log Files\EndPoint\. Support for case sensitivity (Microsoft Windows 10 October 2018 Update or later) The installer can save logs to a folder with a case-sensitive path. After installation, the Endpoint Security self-protection feature prevents you from changing the case sensitivity of the Endpoint Security client log location configured in the Common Options policy or moving that log location to a case-sensitive folder.
