Thanks. That should do the trick -----Original Message----- From: Brian Raven [mailto:bra...@nyx.com] Sent: Wednesday, 13 April 2011 18:44 To: Ashley Hoff; perl-win32-users@listserv.ActiveState.com Subject: RE: Writing To Win Event Logs using Win32::EventLog

The local computer may not have the necessary > registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a > remote computer....." message. I hacked the registry under > "Hkey_Local_Machine=>System=>CurrentControlSet=>Services=>EventLog=>Ap > plication=>My Source" to include the > following: EventMessageFile = %SystemRoot%\System32\EventCreate.exe. > (Well, it wasn't really a hack. In my Perl script, I sent a simple information event to the log, using EventCreate via a cmd call, which registered > the above). > While this has worked to get rid of the above message and the > additional information I want included, I am now > getting the box > standard MS response "For more information, see Help and Support Center at > http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp."; While this one is less confusing then the above, it's probably something that I would rather not be there. > I also tried to hack the registry using the PerlMsg.dll, but this didn't work (I had a return to the original > message) and was simply a guess and a real long shot. > I am using the ActivePerl 5.8.9 distribution.

This is all installed on a Windows XP SP3 box. > Does anyone have any advice/methods on getting exactly what I want written to the Event Logs? > Cheers and thanks in advance. > Ashley This link may help. http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=737505 HTH -- Brian Raven Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.
