I need to check event viewer's application logs for uninstall events. So, I filtered them on MSIInstaller. Turns out I can see logs only upto last reboot which was just a few hours ago from writting this question. But I need to see logs upto last 30 days.

Can anyone help me out here ? Thanks in Advance !!!

  • What are the settings/properties for the applog (right click on the log and choose settings/properties)? Is it just one server that exhibits this behavior? If you don't filter on MSIInstaller does it show events back far enough in the GUI? Maybe your filter isn't right.

  • Even if I do not filter on MSIInstaller the log is upto last reboot only....which property do you want me to look at ? Jul 17, 2013 at 12:26

See if you're not filtering your logs on date.

Also in eventvwr.msc (Event Viewer) go to View->Filter->General(tab) and check out your log size and overwrite settings

  • No I am not filtering on dates...that I have checked already...but I cant find General tab you are talking about...I am using windows server 2008 r2 Jul 16, 2013 at 12:32
  • Sorry that was on XP, I thought it was pretty similar on all newer versions of windows too. Have a look in group policies then(AD or gpedit.msc). There should be the settings for Event Log service.
