I use something like this:
<!-- Create the Event Log -->
<util:EventSource Name='My Service EventLog' Log='My Service
Eventlog '
EventMessageFile='[NETFRAMEWORK40FULLINSTALLROOTDIR]\EventLogMessages.dll'
SupportsErrors='yes'
SupportsWarnings='yes'
SupportsInformationals='yes'/>
.Net 2.0 also has the same DLL.
If you have a custom Eventlog dll, created using the mc compiler, you could
substitute that dll here, it would have to be compiled with the native C/C++
compiler though.

Take a look at:
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/util_xsd_eventsource.htm
An event source in windows is really just some registry entries. The
EventSource extension is some compiler synatical sugar that simlifies
authoring this. Your Installer class isn't needed and shouldn't be used
as it increases the fragility of your MSI.

Subject: [WiX-users] Windows service event source
I'm using the latest weekly build of Wix. The ServiceInstall feature
doesn't create a properly named event source for the service. The event
source for a service turns out to be Service1. The service installer built
into .NET does it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Chris
