I have created and compiled my own message table DLL, and I am trying to figure out how to register it so that Windows Event Log will use it for Event ID lookup for events that are sourced from my application.
I am familiar with Win32::EventLog::Message by Dave Roth, but it will only register its own Message.DLL file. I tried replacing that file with my own, but Roth's Message.DLL file apparently contains some required XS code as well. In addition to that problem, I have to wonder if Roth's module would publish correctly with my PerlSvc application. I have both of Dave Roth's Win32 Perl books, and he hints in one about rolling your own message DLL and registering it for use. But it's only a hint and no specifics are provided. The POD for Win32::EventLog contains this cryptic sentence: "The EventID field should contain the ID of the message that this event pertains too. This assumes that you have an associated message file (indirectly referenced by the field Source)." So I know that I need a message DLL to be registered or associated with my event source. I have gone to great lengths to compile just such a file of my own. I simply can't figure out how to register the file in which I have invested so much time and effort. Will someone please show me the light?
