The Symantec Wise Installer log file is a record format generated by Wise Installation Studio, a legacy packaging tool developed by Wise Solutions and subsequently acquired by Symantec. It is utilized during software deployment to document installation events, file paths, and error codes for system auditing and troubleshooting purposes. As the software suite was discontinued in 2011, these logs are primarily found on older systems or within archival directories and pose no inherent security threats.
