It is designed for users such as third parties who may not be able to install the full client, or users of web apps that can be handled by a web proxy. ## Installing the Windows lite client When the installer .exe is run (including from the command line), the lite client will either install, upgrade, and/or launch. The auto-start feature will always be enabled. If you try to install the lite client on top of the full client, it won't install and will invite you to start the full client. ## Uninstalling the Windows lite client You can uninstall the Windows lite client in two ways: - Right-click on AppGate ZTNA Lite in the start menu and click *Uninstall* - Use the **Add or Remove Programs** option in Windows ## Log file locations ### Client logs The client logs are located in `%APPDATA%\AppGate\Logs`. For example, `c:\users\sally\AppData\AppGate\Logs` - lite.log includes the logs from the main service - ui-.log includes logs from the UI process At the end of every day a log-date and a ui-date record will be archived for 30 days. ![List of log files with details including date modified and file size.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e7482ce5-acfa-4c3b-b76c-b6c32472644a/Images/Documentation/ag32-winlogs(1).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T00%3A46%3A09Z&se=2026-10-27T01%3A46%3A09Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Zm8SZUs1OUEH1Avt8UPu336So0jaAPpWezmuLSiUe68%3D) ### Log level To increase the log level in the client, quit the client and then run: `& ".\appgate sdp.exe" --loglevel <value> ` The options are: - `Dump` - `Trace` - `Debug` - `Info` - `Warn` - `Error` - `Fatal` `Info` is the normal setting.
