In case you run into any installation issues like shown above, please try installing the software with the following command line argument to generate a log file (replacing the "x"s with the particular version you are installing). Afterwards, contact us and attach your
installog.txt file and we can take a look at what could be causing it."Logic Setup 2.x.xx-master.exe" /L*V installog.txtKnown Issues with Windows 11 Insider Preview Builds
Installation issues on Windows 11 are typically caused when you are running on an Insider Preview build of Windows 11. We're currently tracking issue reports of this in the bug report here.
Based on user reports, we believe there may be issues with Windows 11 Insider Preview buils that prevent our driver's signature from being validated. We haven't figured out why this happens exactly, but opting out of the Insider Preview build and reverting back to a normal, stable build of Windows 11 seems to have solved this issue for most users.
Microsoft has provided instructions on how to leave their Insider program here. As of the writing on this support article section, it doesn't look like there is an immediate method for unenrolling your PC from an Insider Preview build besides completing a clean installation of Windows.

Logic 1.x Software
If you plan on using the older Logic 1.x software, the following information applies.
Below is a list of all known reasons and corresponding solutions or next steps that can cause this particular issue. Please check each one, skipping any items that are not relevant (such as issues specific to an operating system you are not using).
For each item, first perform the test. If the test result is positive (the test condition was met), then attempt the corrective action.
Old Software
- Corrective Action: Download the latest version for your operating system.
Proper OS Used
- Test: Are you using an unsupported operating system?
- Corrective Action: Use a supported operating system.
Wrong Installer Downloaded
- Test: Verify that you downloaded the correct installer for your operating system. Note that on Linux, you must download the correct variant (32 bit or 64 bit).
- Corrective Action: Download the correct version.
Anti-Virus False Positive
- Test: Does your anti-virus detect the logic software or installer as a virus and prevent you from running it?
- Corrective Action: First, verify that this is actually a false positive and not an actual issue. Make sure you downloaded the Logic software directly from the saleae website.You can also test the download against other anti-virus programs using the online service Virus Total.If this is just a false positive, you can either manually ignore the file if your anti-virus allows it, or you can disable your anti-virus.
Logic Software Installer Fails with Error on Windows
- Test: Attempt to install the Logic software using the downloaded installer for your platform.
- Corrective Action: Try using the "standalone" version of the software. The download link can be found below the normal installer downloads.The "standalone" version of the software does not need to be installed. Simply extract it and run Logic.exe.Please note that the installer normally handles driver installation. You may need to manually install the driver if you use the standalone version. The driver files are included with the standalone download.You can find all the download links for the latest beta, including the standalone releases below.
