vs_BuildTools 2019
Where can I find the installation log for vs2019? @jacobq
Sorry for not responding sooner! This got buried in my list of notifications and forgotten long ago. Unfortunately, I actually do not know where the VS installer produces log files (apart from the usual suspects of stdout and stderr). Taking a quick peek at Use command-line parameters to install Visual Studio, Install Build Tools into a container, and Visual Studio Build Tools component directory may help you get some clues though. e.g. the first of those mentions:
Each operation generates several log files in the
%TEMP%directory that indicate the progress of the installation. Sort the folder by date and look for files that begin with dd_bootstrapper, dd_client, and dd_setup for the bootstrapper, the installer app, and the setup engine, respectively.
Not sure why, but it looks like we have a log file option when installing VS2015 but not when installing VS2017. Looks like that gets used here: https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools/blob/0ef17446b88f188a116af93c64b69ee4efc06804/src/utils/get-build-tools-installer-path.ts#L19
