Hi all,
In this post I will discuss the various products/components installed by the AVR Studio 5.0 full installer, and the various logs that will be generated by these installed items, in case if you want to know the reason for failure or to send it to avr@atmel.com. To conclude what a full installer does , A full installer is the one that will install AVR Studio 5.0 and get it up and running without the need for a internet connectivity, provided the target machine satisfies the hardware and software requirements for installation.
The below table lists the items installed by the Installer and the path of the logs it is stored.

This is a long list of log files and these are what we first try to acquire on instance of a installation failure or startup failure. But that is based on the error that we see from you. I will try to write a utility to collect these logs and package them on behalf of our customers, on my next post. In case if you are asked to submit the log files please choose the appropriate one and help the AVR Engineers , to help you.
Have a good time with AVR Studio.
