Insider Fast Ring fails to install since 15048, is there a log


Since 15048, I can't upgrade to the latest insider fast ring. No changes to hardware / software, but it's a rather limited system: 2GB ram, old HP system, running 32-bit OS. Not sure what type of CPU.


Is there an upgrade log that I can read to determine the cause of the failure?


Answer



The log files are located under C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\panther.



The following log files are created when an upgrade fails, and the
installation rollback is initiated:


C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\Rollback\setupact.log
C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\Rollback\setupact.err



MS lists here all errors and possible fixes.


So open the C:\Windows\panther\setuperr.log to see what is failed and look in the list what the error means and how you can solve it.
