I have an installation of Visual Studio 2008 that is failing. Where is the installation log that is generated and what is it's name?

A:
In your %temp% folder.
Logs produced by the Visual Studio 2008 setup wrapper:
%temp%\dd_install*.txt
%temp%\dd_error*.txt
%temp%\dd_depcheck*.txt
VSMsiLog*.txt - located in your %temp% directory during Visual Studio 2008 setup; moved to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\\Logs after a successful installation; left in %temp% after a failed installation and after uninstallation
