 == Debugging Installation Issues
 
 To debug the installation process and capture detailed logs, use the following command:
 
 ```
-msiexec /i IDEASY.msi /l*v install.log
+msiexec /i IDEASY.msi /l*vx install.log
 ```
 
 This will create a verbose log file (`install.log`) that can help diagnose installation issues.
