I don't think it's possible to change the install location for .NET
Framework so this should work.
<util:EventSource Name='MyApplication' Log='Application'
EventMessageFile='[WindowsFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\EventLogMessages.dll'
SupportsErrors='yes'
SupportsWarnings='yes'
SupportsInformationals='yes'
/>
