Yes Microsoft changes file names from time to time.

For XP, it is called SetupApi.log, typically at  %windir%\setupapi.log.
For Vista and Windows 7, there are two files:
setupapi.app.log  and setupapi.dev.log, located in %windir%\inf\.

You can refer to these two document.

I think setupact.log is a bit different.
It is talked about here.
