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.
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?

This appears to still be somewhat of an issue in Wix
Have you installed the windows sdk?
One thing we did was take all of the files for the prereq's and check them into
source control... it made it a lot more reliable to reference that,rather than
the SDK (which, gets installed inconsistently in my opinion because I had to
install 6.0a, 7.0 and
that this message is uncluttered.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Passing Values from the ProductModule
Even after simplifying, the data was not passed to the merge module.
I am working on the configuration/substitution nodes now.
Any idea what the table name would be for the substitution for what I am trying
to do?

That is what I thought, but I was still having problems. I have resolve the
issue for what I need, (at least for now).
In the main product module, you need to declare the properties as follows:
Property Id=DOMAIN SuppressModularization=yes Secure=yes /
Property Id=USER
Can I ask why you are using SERVICEACCOUNTFULLNAME as a parameter, rather than
doing something like this?
CustomAction Id='SetPermissionableUser' Property='PermissionableUser'
Value='[WINDOWSDOMAIN]\[WINDOWSUSERNAME]' /
