I really do appreciate all the help that you have been putting into this issue. Okay, so, I now understand that 9.6+ does not create any .xlg files at all. So, searching for them is useless. I have, however, pulled up the log files and scoured each location and every log file for the name of xtrace and logverbose. None of them matched this criteria. I have included a screenshot for your viewing. I could be misunderstanding you, but I believe you are telling me that .xlg files are not being created in the new suite. You are saying that the log files are being appended with such xtrace and verbose information. But, alas, I do not see any in the files or folders when I check it. Please see the screenshots to see what I see.
Thanks again.
