Logs

Gorelo logs everything to: 
%programfiles%\Gorelo\LogFiles\
As the install progresses, the installer creates additional folders at each stage with log files inside: InstallerHandler > Installer > Shell > Agent Feel free to investigate the following logs — this is where the most common issues will appear: 
%programfiles%\Gorelo\LogFiles\Installer\diagnostics**.log

%programfiles%\Gorelo\LogFiles\Agent\diagnostics**.log
If Gorelo support asks for log files, send the entire LogFiles folder as a .zip.
