siah1214 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 So I'm troubleshooting an MSI install and needed to enable verbose logging.... I think I've finally gone too far down the rabbit hole. Here's the article explaining how the key works...things I never knew. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314852 Aergan, ecotrojan and Calum 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey_richie Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Curious. Maybe you've found an Easter egg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aergan Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 *v should net you a good result but I hadn't realised that all the arguments together spell out a phrase. Would advise using a viewer like Microsoft SMS Trace to go through it as looking through verbose install logs line by line of 3MB+ is never fun.

Hum Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 So I'm troubleshooting an MSI install and needed to enable verbose logging.... I think I've finally gone too far down the rabbit hole. This is what System Restore is for. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growled Member Posted December 12, 2012 Member Share Posted December 12, 2012 That's definitely strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 It's been that way for many years, although I don't remember why those specific letters were chosen. Not only that, if you're on a system with the MSI engine 3.0 or higher you can also use "voicewarmupx!" as the Logging string and get additional debugging information flushed out to the file.

Tha Bloo Monkee Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Probably because voicewarmup is easier to remember than random letters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
