Hi.
I'm trying to add some extended error codes to the event log but I get the following error.
The description for Event ID ( 109 ) in Source ( PumpServer ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: The event log file is corrupt..
The message file looks like this and I added the one on the end:-
<---snip--->
MessageId=
SymbolicName=EVMSG_BADREQUEST
Language=English
The service received an unsupported request.
.
MessageId=
SymbolicName=EVMSG_DEBUG
Language=English
%1
.
MessageId=
SymbolicName=EVMSG_STOPPED
Language=English
The service was stopped.
.
MessageId=
SymbolicName=EVMSG_INVALIDLICENCE
Language=English
The service does not have a valid licence. Initialization failed.
.
It compiles fine. The mc program is running over this file and producing a header file of the same name with my new message id showing.
//
// MessageId: EVMSG_INVALIDLICENCE
//
// MessageText:
//
// The service does not have a valid licence. Initialization failed.
//
#define EVMSG_INVALIDLICENCE 0x0000006DL
Any ideas why it's not finding my message? All the others work.
