Simplified log files

It would be extremely helpful to have a simplified install log available, as the current logs are difficult to read and resemble a "wall of text." A cleaner, more structured log format would benefit both first-line support and technical users by making it easier to identify installation errors quickly, without needing to sift through dense output.

We previously addressed this by creating custom scripts for each stage of the installation process. We used:

  • Start-Transcript to capture all output,

  • Write-Output to clearly log the status of each action, and

  • Write-Error to highlight any issues.

This approach made troubleshooting much more efficient. I'm not sure if something similar is feasible here, but it could be worth exploring.
