You know, Rob, I may be inclinced to do that - if I would have at least the hint of a clue how that stuff works. The whole Manifest thing is something I totally fail to understand and find documentation. This - and the fact that I am not really into installers and the wix source - makes it kind of hard. I may be willing to spend a week maybe to provide some help here for a 3.9 release, but someone would have to get me into the whole "how is this supposed to actually work" side.
Seriously, this post of mine is a good indication here - I have no idea what even is there at the moment. It may well be that things are just supposed to work when called correctly, but I fail to be able to even get a coherent example. For now, I am trying to work along the line of http://rrandomdiscovery.blogspot.com/2009/03/wix-eventmanifest.html - but my events do simply not show up ;( Regards Thomas -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] Sent: 30 January 2014 20:03 To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.

If EventManifest can't do it, it'd be ideal to help improve it rather than one off your own custom action. <smile/> -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Tomiczek [mailto:t.tomic...@nettecture.com] Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2014 10:44 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. (wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net) Subject: [WiX-users] Event Source Manifests and Wix .... is there a good example? Now that the .NET team finally has released a usable version of the event source at https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Diagnostics.Tracing.EventSource with v 1.0.16 - one that also supports the admin channel - the task is on me to get it into some of our programs. I am stuck in the installation of the manifests in a proper way (without going to a custom action, what I actually prefer to avoid). According to the sample that uses the event log, they call Wevtutil As: wevtutil im C:\ProgramData\EventSourceSamples\EventSourceTest.Samples-EventSou rceDemos-EventLog.etwManifest.man /rf:"C:\ProgramData\EventSourceSamples\EventSo urceTest.Samples-EventSourceDemos-EventLog.etwManifest.dll" /mf:"C:\ProgramData\ EventSourceSamples\EventSourceTest.Samples-EventSourceDemos-EventLog.etwManifest .dll" And I wonder how to replicate that in WIX. It is clear I need to install the 2 files (the .man and the .dll that are the event source). But how do I formulate that best with the registration? Can util:EventManifest be used here or.... do I Really need to do a custom action for that (and can someone help me make one)?
