SUMMARY

This article describes the RunOnceEx Log.txt file.

MORE INFORMATION

You can use the RunOnceEx Log.txt file to identify whether or not a file is sucessfully registered when your computer is restarted the first time during Internet Explorer 5 Setup. It can also be used to register the files again without reinstalling Internet Explorer 5.

The RunOnceEx Log.txt file is used to record the files that are registered during the final restart of your computer during Setup. This file contains two sections. The first section contains an export of the registry section that Setup is modifying with DLL registration information. This contains the specific information about the settings of the current browser prior to the installation of Internet Explorer 5.

The second section contains the file registration information that Setup is going to add during the processing of the RunOnceEx section of the registry during the first restart.

The following table lists download phases and "hresult" error codes found in the RunOnceEx Log.txt file. This can help determine exactly what caused Setup to stop. The same "hresult" error codes are used in the Active Setup Log.txt and Setup Log.txt files.
