The log file referred to by that dialog box is stuffed into an arcane 
location in the Windows directory (or the Documents and 
Settings/%USERNAME% directory, depending on the version of Windows and 
Windows settings) with a less than obvious name.

The setup log itself may contain messages of a similar nature, though, 
and should be found at /var/setup.log (or /var/setup.log.full).
