This is cross-posted from Stack Exchange [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30178160/use-wix-eventsource-to-create-non-localized-log].
The WiX EventSource element requires an EventMessageFile attribute. When I use the instructions found here [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12433883/how-to-create-a-net-event-log-source-using-wix], and write entries using WriteEntry(String, String), I get log entries starting with "The description for Event ID 0 from source XXX cannot be found." Microsoft says there are two kinds of event sources, localized and direct string: "Use the CategoryCount, CategoryResourceFile, MessageResourceFile, and ParameterResourceFile properties to configure the source to write localized entries to the event log. If your application writes strings values directly to the event log, you do not need to set these properties." --From https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5zbwd3s3(v=vs.110).aspx So, how can I use WiX to avoid passing ParameterResourceFile? I'm not allowed to omit it or give it an empty value. I am using WiX 3.9. \Bob Peterson _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
