  • RunbookDesignerMSI.log

Detailed logging of installation of the Runbook Designer

  • RunbookServerMSI.log

  • SCOPrereqCheck.log

  • WebComponentsMSI.log

Logs are located in the %LocalAppData%\SCO\Logs directory for the account under which installation was run. On a default installation on Windows 2008 R2, that would be c:\users\<UserName>\Appdata\Local\SCO\Logs where <UserName> is the name of the account you used to run the installation.
