Livestatus

The numbered messages the Windows Installer writes while a package installs, repairs, patches or removes. Microsoft publishes no constant names for this space, so the name in each row is the one SparkLogs stamps on the event.

This table decodes 359 codes.

SparkLogs decodes these codes on every event that carries one, regardless of feed. The Windows Application event log feed reads these codes while curating an event.

How to read this

Codes are listed in numeric order. Windows publishes no constant for this space, so Name is the short label SparkLogs puts on the event, and it is what a question groups by. The last column is our one-line summary of what the code means in plain words.
