Hello,
For a .NET application I would like to create an event log source in
the setup process. Until moving to WiX, this was done via an
InstallUtil-type Installer class, but, for obvious reasons, I'm moving
away from this now. I have been looking at various sources of
documentation and what I've found is this:
<util:EventSource Name='MyApplication' Log='Application'
EventMessageFile='C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\EventLogMessages.dll'
SupportsErrors='yes'
SupportsWarnings='yes'
SupportsInformationals='yes'
/>
Now, as for the EventMessageFile, this should be the .NET
EventLogMessages.dll for the target framework version, but I would
rather not hard code the full path to this file. Does anyone have any
suggestions on how this could be done best? I'm thinking of a registry
search for InstallRoot in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework and
then somehow append the version number, but perhaps anyone has a
better way?
Also, this may have been asked before, but the NetFxExtension exposes
various properties of the .NET Framework, including the SDK directory,
but it does not provide a property for the runtime directory
(C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727). Is this omitted for
any specific reason or is it planned for a future version?
Kind regards.
