Hey,

I am getting error while reading event log for a Longhorn machine. I am reading event log soemthing like this:

::OpenEventLog()
::ReadEventLog() – I read this event log in a buffer size equivalent to “EVENTLOGRECORD” structure.

I am able to read the name of the event and Event ID’s correctly. But I am getting error in reading the event Description. The method I am using is to read the registry at following location to get path for the image file:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application

When we read description from this image file I am getting error: here is one of the error messages for one of the event generated for “Desktop Window Manager”:

The description for Event ID ( 9009 ) in Source ( Desktop Window Manager ) could not be found. It contains the following insertion string(s): 0x40010004

Error Message: The specified resource type cannot be found in the image file. (0x00000715)

Message Dll(s): \\<Machine Name>\C$\Windows\system32\dwm.exe

Can anybody tell me what’s going wrong? I am able to read event log for other OS machines.
