SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager log files are available to assist you in troubleshooting installation problems.
These log files are located with the other SOLIDWORKS application log files.

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\SOLIDWORKS\Installation Logs\installed_version
If you run the Installation Manager from a system account, the logs are located in this folder:
