Include the log file path when saying to See the log for details

[christianrondeau]

After executing actions in chocolatey, there is a message that says See the log for details. - but where is that log file?

I suggest including the path in that message to make it easier:

See the log for details (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs)

Thanks for reporting this! Should be fixed in 0.9.9.5

@ferventcoder I just tried to upgrade VisualStudioCode unsuccessfully. But I can't see where the log is located?

I did however found it in C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs but I think it would be a lot easier if See log for details. is change to See log for details. C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs

@dotnetCarpenter It does. Note the version of choco that you are on versus what this issue says it was fixed with.

[dotnetCarpenter]

@ferventcoder You're right! I somehow missed it at the bottom.

[piotr-cz]

it doesn't show for me (choco version 0.9.9.11):

The upgrade of ffmpeg was NOT successful.
Error while running 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\ffmpeg\tools\chocolateyInstall.ps1'.
 See log for details.
 Unsuccessful operation for ffmpeg.
  Do you want to rollback to previous version (package files only)?

[ferventcoder]

@piotr-cz I believe you need to finish out the install/uninstall and then you will see it.

[ferventcoder]

It's written out at the end of the install.

It seems to remain inconsistent (chocolatey v0.10.11). When trying to upgrade gnuplot, I got:

This problem still exists in 2019 with Chocately 10.15 when Chocately is invoked from another program.
