Judging by the file path, isn’t this a transaction log rather than a debug log? You would find something similar to this in your SQL Server data files.

The log file is encrypted and the format is not publicly available. The files are just used by DTS to manage transactions and aren’t really meant for viewing outside of what the service itself reads and uses.

@Mario
that’s certainly possible, though that file really isn’t very big on my machine
that path also has a Trace folder which contains more (even smaller) logfiles… they’re all binary as well
it’s just frustrating to see that when you are hoping for something that could help you debug an issue

This could actually just be the start of your problems, as I have translated the log file file, which reads, “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”.
