Change the Location of adxloader.log

Problem

Outlook Integration for JIRA on Outlook start creates a file adxloader.log in the directory Documents\Add-in Express\. For any reason, you want to change the location of adxloader.log file.

Solution

Do the following to change the location of adxloader.log:

1. Create a backup of the file Documents\Add-in Express\adxloader.dll.manifest.
2. Ensure you have administrator access, and edit the file adxloader.dll.manifest with an text editor of your choice.

3. Add the tag <logFileLocation> as shown in the following lines:

   <loaderSettings generateLogFile="true" shadowCopyEnabled="false" privileges="user" configFileName="App.config" >
   <logFileLocation>C:\temp</logFileLocation>
   </loaderSettings>

   Alternatively, you can set the parameter generateLogFile to false if you do not need a log file:

   <loaderSettings generateLogFile="false" shadowCopyEnabled="false" privileges="user" configFileName="App.config" >
   </loaderSettings>

4. Save the file and close your text editor.
