SUMMARY
Microsoft has created a utility to help you understand the log files that Setup creates during the installation of Microsoft Office 2000 products. This utility creates an output log file that can assist you if you are having a problem installing Office.

The following are some of the objectives of the LogReader utility:
 * Combine the log file information from the Setup and Windows Installer log files.
 * Highlight key areas where Setup may be failing.
 * Point out common Setup errors.
 * Provide a more readable log file.
 * Reduce the log file information.

For more information about using the LogReader utility, see the "Readme.txt" file that comes with the utility.
