Hello,
First time reader, first time poster.
I am trying to use Win32::EventLog to write out to the Windows Event Log
(via the $handle->Report() method) and am having issues with getting the
description (as viewed by the windows Event Viewer) right.
Initially, I was getting the standard Windows message "The description
for Event ID ( n ) in Source ( My Source) cannot be found. 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=>Appl
ication=>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. I also have PDK V9
available. 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
