title: Difference between msiexec log /lv VS /l*v
body: <p><a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/msiexec" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Microsoft's documentation for msiexec</a> says this:</p>
  <p>/lv     Turns on logging and includes verbose output in the output log file.</p>
  <p>/l*     Turns on logging and logs all information, except verbose information (/lv) or extra debugging information (/lx).</p>
  <p>Examples
  To install package C:\example.msi, using a normal installation process with <em><strong>all logging information provided, including verbose output</strong></em>, and storing the output log file at C:\package.log, type:</p>
  <pre><code>msiexec.exe /i &quot;C:\example.msi&quot; /L*V &quot;C:\package.log&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>I think it might help to have an example installer log. What is 'all logging information' vs verbose logging? Isn't verbose just that &amp; historically shows all logging info? Guessing this is going to be a unique Microsoft thing</p>
