.net - Description for event id from source cannot be found

Question

When I write a log into windows event log, I get the event below, what's the root cause of this message, and how can I fix it? Many Thanks

The description for Event ID 51001 from source RRWS cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

test log messge

the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table

Answer 1

I got this error after creating an event source under the Application Log from the command line using "EventCreate". This command creates a new key under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesEventlogApplication

If you look at the Key that's been created (e.g. SourceTest) there will be a string value calledEventMessageFile, which for me was set to %SystemRoot%System32EventCreate.exe.

Change this to c:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727EventLogMessages.dll

Delete theCustomSource and TypesSupported values.

This should stop the "The description for Event ID...." message.
