What prevent Windows Vista event log viewer from showing events?


I developed manifest file for windows event log logging, and it is standard list of categories and events. It working great on Win 7+, but on Vista it shows strange window:

Vista Event log Viewer

I tried to find some information about this error, or some incompatible flags in the XML schema, but nothing. How I can find the source of the problem?


Solution

  • I used MC.exe from Windows 10 SDK, and binary file have version 5. That is unsupported on Vista/XP. MC.exe from SDK7.1 generates version 3, that works.
