[WiX-users] Bump: Use Wix EventSource to create non-localized log

[Peterson, B. <Bob...@fi...>]

Does anyone know how to log messages without getting the error, or to register for direct string logging (direct string means no resource files)? Is there another way to register an event source in WiX without using the EventSource element?

Microsoft says there are two kinds of event sources, localized and direct string:
"Use the CategoryCount, CategoryResourceFile, MessageResourceFile, and ParameterResourceFile properties to configure the source to write localized entries to the event log. If your application writes strings values directly to the event log, you do not need to set these properties."
--From https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5zbwd3s3(v=vs.110).aspx

The WiX EventSource element requires an EventMessageFile attribute. That presumes I'm using localized logging, but I use direct string logging using WriteEntry(String, String). I get log entries starting with "The description for Event ID 0 from source XXX cannot be found."

How can I use WiX to avoid passing ParameterResourceFile? I'm not allowed to omit it or give it an empty value. I am using WiX 3.9.
