Hello,
Looking at this log, there is nothing erroring out. So it looks like setup
is continuing.
Note the change in the timestamp so is shows around an hour and twenty
mintues.
No error messages yet at least in this log file.
At this stage we have to collect information and copy files to the system.
I presume this was from the \windows folder.
Was there a log file at the C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setupact.log
as well?
Was the C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources folder even created?
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
