If you ever meet the people who designed the Windows event logging system, please slap them for me.
Man, what a pain. We recently discovered (and fixed) an issue where it turns out that we must support ParameterMessageFile's. About 99% of the time you can skip handling them, since most event sources use one file, the EventMessageFile. Unfortunately, it turns out that a few apps use a ParameterMessageFile.
It's just as well I suppose, since we fixed some internal bugs related to error handling and updated some of the internal function calls to their "Ex" equivalents.
