SYMPTOMS
If you attempt to open the Exchange Server Setup.log file in any other word- processing application other than Notepad, the file will appear unreadable.



CAUSE
The format of the Exchange Server Setup.log file was intended to be opened in Notepad with the Fixedsys font.



WORKAROUND
To make the Exchange Server Setup.log file partially readable, you can change the font to a non-true type font (such as System or Fixedsys) by following these steps:


 * 1) In Wordpad (Write.exe), choose Select All from the Edit menu.
 * 2) From the Format menu, select Font.
 * 3) In the Font dialog box, choose the System font.



MORE INFORMATION
If the Exchange Server Setup.log file is too large to be opened in Notepad, the system will default to open the file in Wordpad if it is installed.

Additional query words: word boxes write.exe wordpad.exe notepad.exe
