Assuming that you are running under windows.

The first run is just a test run set not to output any image and the 
output_to_file flag is temporarily set to OFF. If the image get rendered, then 
the installation process was successfull. The default is output_to_file ON.

After that, if you start a render, an actual image file will be created. You'll 
also get a message telling you the image's file name and it's location.
