I've created a Event Messages dll which keeps custom application eventlogs clear of garbage. Typically event logs created in autoit Have a long message before actually getting to the point, this is the Eventvwr trying to read the message file dll. Using the attahced DLL and include file you can create nice clean events with the name of your application. AutoItEventMsg.zip #include "_CustomEventLog.au3" $MyEventName = "AutoIt" $EventLog = _SetLog($MyEventName,"AutoIteventms
