Digital Certicates
All Server Administrator packages for Microsoft are digitally signed with a certicate that helps guarantee the integrity of the installation
packages. If these packages are repackaged, edited, or manipulated in other ways, the digital signature is invalidated. This manipulation
results in an unsupported installation package and the prerequisite checker does not allow you to install the software.
Enabling Windows Installer Logging Service
Windows includes a registry-activated logging service to help diagnose Windows Installer issues.
To enable this logging service during a silent install, open the registry editor and create the following path and keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Reg_SZ: Logging
Value: voicewarmup
The letters in the value eld can be in any order. Each letter turns on a dierent logging mode. Each letter's actual function is as follows for
