After some more research the question again.
Is the EventManifest (in the utility namespace) broken or do I just use it
wrong?
EventManifest is the WIX version of wevtutil.
In order to properly register one needs three parameters - the manifest and 2x
the compiled manifest.
Regardless how I am setting things up I am seemingly only able to get the first
one called, the other two parameters always are not used, as a result the
registration does not work. I checked the logs and I never see the 2nd and 3rd
parameter being called.
In the particular example, I am declaring the files as:
<Component Id="Reflexo.GridAgent.EventSource.BinaryManifest" Guid="*">
<File Id="Reflexo.GridAgend.EventSource.BinaryManifest"
Name="Reflexo.GridAgent.EventSource.Reflexo-GridAgent-EventLog.etwManifest.dll"
Source="$(var.Reflexo.GridAgent.EventSource.TargetDir)Reflexo.GridAgent.EventSource.Reflexo-GridAgent-EventLog.etwManifest.dll"
KeyPath="yes" Vital="yes" />
</Component>
<Component Id="Reflexo.GridAgent.EventSource.Manifest" Guid="*">
<File Id="Reflexo.GridAgend.EventSource.Manifest"
Name="Reflexo.GridAgent.EventSource.Reflexo-GridAgent-EventLog.etwManifest.man"
Source="$(var.Reflexo.GridAgent.EventSource.TargetDir)Reflexo.GridAgent.EventSource.Reflexo-GridAgent-EventLog.etwManifest.man"
KeyPath="yes" Vital="yes">
<util:EventManifest
MessageFile="[#Reflexo.GridAgent.EventSource.BinaryManifest]"
ResourceFile="[#Reflexo.GridAgent.EventSource.BinaryManifest]"/>
</File>
The proper call that should be generated is:
wevtutil im "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Reflexo.GridAgent\Reflexo.GridAgent.EventSource.Reflexo-GridAgent-EventLog.etwManifest.man"
/rf:"C:\Program Files
(x86)\Reflexo.GridAgent\Reflexo.GridAgent.EventSource.Reflexo-GridAgent-EventLog.etwManifest.dll"
/mf:"C:\Program Files
(x86)\Reflexo.GridAgent\Reflexo.GridAgent.EventSource.Reflexo-GridAgent-EventLog.etwManifest.dll"
Sadly the log only shows:
MSI (s) (8C:40) [10:33:52:580]: Executing op:
CustomActionSchedule(Action=RegisterEventManifest,ActionType=3073,Source=BinaryData,Target=CAQuietExec,CustomActionData="wevtutil.exe"
im "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Reflexo.GridAgent\Reflexo.GridAgent.EventSource.Reflexo-GridAgent-EventLog.etwManifest.man")
I am not ruling out that there is an error in my EventManifest declaration -
the alternative would be a bug.
Now, before I am retiring towards just calling wevtutil manually in a custom
action..... do I have something wrong in the WIX code?
