      So far so good @TheDog . Last thing just to see what it looks like, can you find a 'triplea.log' file? It should likely be written somewhere in your user home folder, I think under 'local data' or something like that. I'm curious what the path is to that file, where it was written.

        I cannot find it, I have a search going, it will take ages as its looking from c:\

        Did you use the Windows variable %USERNAME% in your path?

            Would you mind checking explicitly for: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files<triplea>\triplea.log

              The path only exists upto here
              C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\

              I created the folder Program Files
              and then created Triplea within that folder

              just in case, but still its a no show.

                      Perhaps try the Windows environment variable %PUBLIC% c:\users\public at the same time as the current version?

                          474 is the latest. Hmm, that's a small problem if it's not showing up. I have a suspicion the logger file is not being packaged with the game. I'll check that out, hopefully that is the missing piece. Thanks for your checks so far @TheDog 🙂

                            @LaFayette On my Windows10 the triplea.log file is - as usual - in the TripleA installation folder (22477). I use custom installation folders however.

                            Don't always trust TripleA when it comes to rules questions. Know the rules before you start … and better check what TripleA has done.

                                @Panther 'As usual' surprises me as the log file is new. Is this the installation log file? Sorry to be a bit confused, is 'as usual' referring to the log file being written to a usual location?

                                Could you share the first dozen lines of that log file @Panther or let us know if it looks like an application log or an installation log?

                                  Sorry for the confusion. I am used to the fact that the enginge creates log-files in the installation directory. I was referring to the error.log file.

                                  These are the first lines of the triplea.log-file:

                                    Thanks @Panther , that is the application log file, that is the one we were looking for!

                                    Okay, is it the case that (?):

                                    • if you install TripleA to the default folder, it does not generate a log file,
                                    • if you install TripleA to a custom location, then it does?

                                      It looks like. On my system the installer wants to install into "C:\Program Files\TripleA".
                                      I am using "C:\Games\TripleA" instead.

                                      C:\Program Files\ is a somehow restricted system directory.

                                      Don't always trust TripleA when it comes to rules questions. Know the rules before you start … and better check what TripleA has done.

                                        Yes C:\Program Files\TripleA is the default

                                        C:\Program Files\ is a somehow restricted system directory.
                                        Yes Windows tries to protect itself.

                                          It sounded like if an application were to try to write to program files then the file would be redirected to the appdata folder. It sounds like this was perhaps misadvertised and instead. @TheDog , if you install to your home folder, I presume you would see the log file show up, would you mind verifying that?
