How to enable Windows Installer logging
Windows Installer can use logging to help assist in troubleshooting issues with installing software packages. This logging is enabled by adding keys and values to the registry. After the entries have been added and enabled, you can retry the problem installation and Windows Installer will track the progress and post it to the Temp folder. The new log’s file name is random, but begins with the letters “Msi” and end with a .log extension. To locate the Temp folder location, type the following line at a command prompt:
====================
NOTE:
This should be used only for troubleshooting purposes and should not be left on because it will have adverse effects on system performance and disk space. Each time you use the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel, a new Msi*.log file is created.
====================
cd %temp%
To have us enable or disable Windows Installer logging for you, go to the “Fix it for me” section. If you would rather enable Windows Installer logging yourself, go to the “Let me fix it myself” section.

Determining ProductID for Autodesk software in Registry Keys
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=9120436&linkID=9240617
Determining ProductID for Autodesk software
Issue:
You need to determine which ProductID (ACAD-####:###) corresponds to which software in order to edit registry entries related to AutoCAD or an AutoCAD-based product.
Solution
To determine the applicable ProductID for an Autodesk product, use the tables below:
ProductID Structure
ProductIDs have the following structure:
Rxx.x\ACAD-<ProductID>:<LocaleID>
For example,
R16.0\ACAD-201:409 = AutoCAD 2004 English
R16.1\ACAD-301:409 = AutoCAD 2005 English
R16.2\ACAD-4001:409 = AutoCAD 2006 English
R17.0\ACAD-5001:409 = AutoCAD 2007 English
R17.1\ACAD-6001:409 = AutoCAD 2008 English
R17.2\ACAD-7001:409 = AutoCAD 2009 English
R18.0\ACAD-8001:409 = AutoCAD 2010 English
R18.1\ACAD-9001:409 = AutoCAD 2011 English
=====
R9\ ACADLT-201:409 = AutoCAD LT 2004 English
R10\ACADLT-301:409 = AutoCAD LT 2005 English
R11\ACADLT-4001:409 = AutoCAD LT 2006 English
R12\ACADLT-5001:409 = AutoCAD LT 2007 English
R13\ACADLT-6001:409 = AutoCAD LT 2008 English
R14\ACADLT-7001:409 = AutoCAD LT 2009 English
R15\ACADLT-8001:409 = AutoCAD LT 2010 English
R16\ACADLT-9001:409 = AutoCAD LT 2011 English
Note 1: This structure applies only to the products listed below and may or may not reflect the structure of ProductIDs in the future.
Note 2: for the Rxx.x look at this table
AutoCAD / AutoCAD Verticals AutoCAD LT
2004 = R16.0 2004 = R9
2005 = R16.1 2005 = R10
2006 = R16.2 2006 = R11
2007 = R17.0 2007 = R12
2008 = R17.1 2008 = R13
2009 = R17.2 2009 = R14
2010 = R18.0 2010 = R15
2011 = R18.1 2011 = R16
Note 3: if you do not see your version here ie (2010, 2011), refer to the secondary installer instructions for your product and version. They are located in the “secondary installers” category. You will see a registry entry that will correspond to the one specified in this post.
