DPM 2010 – Error Opening installation log file

While installing DPM 2010 updates you might encounter Error opening installation log file. This happened with pretty much any update attempted.  For the instance that I worked on was the folder was either deleted or never created on the DPM 2010 Server. Below is the error related to this article.

Creating the folder %systemdrive%\DPMLogs which for most servers is c:\DPMLogs as seen below

If the user has permissions to this folder you should get the updater to start running.

Log file should be created and if more issues arise you can check this log.
