Sorry, my mistake. I meant %systemroot%\Debug\Oakley.log
You can enable that logfile by editing the registry:

(Careful: typos make it difficult to look up error messages).

According to a Microsoft employee, you might be right in suspecting
McAfee or VMWare:

Perhaps an update is available? Or you could switch to another personal
firewall such as ZoneAlarm.

Incidentally, the above post also provides insight into why some systems lost
Internet connectivity after installing the (initial) NAT-T update Q818043.
It caught a lot of bad press and they had to pull the update for a while.
