Notes:
- Only debug version of our filters will write the log file. Please make sure a debug version is registered.
- Please remember to unregister the log object after use. Log files can be VERY large (up to hundreds of GB) if the option “Add new log to the end of the old file” is selected (default option).
You can find the path to the 32-bit log object in the following registry key:

These keys have subkeys with paths to log32.dll and log64.dll. Also, these subkeys have a "Log" parameter with the value: path to the log file and other parameters.
