That's my point. My install is Per-User, but I don't want a Per-User placement or registration of the Eventlog Resource Dll. Will the installer just magically handle the registration of the eventlog and dll via reference counting?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Per User Install Question - Eventlog Message Dll Placement? I wasn't aware that you could have a per-user event log as the registry (HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog ) used by the EventLog service is in HKLM. Therefore I don't se how you could have a per-user message file. Am I missing something? ---------------------------------------- From: "John Bergman" <john.berg...@xpedienttechnologies.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2011 2:54 PM To: "General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset." <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: [WiX-users] Per User Install Question - Eventlog Message Dll Placement? I have a Per-User application and a WiX installer that is working for us quite well now. I was recently asked to improve our eventlog capabilities by writing to a custom eventlog. I have created the message dll, and have it all registering correctly using the util:Eventlog utilities method. My question is one of placement. Since this is a per-user application, where should I place the message dll? It seems wrong that it would be placed for each user. Anyone have any guidance on how this should really be done?
