Re: Reviewing Vista/2k3 log files from the same platform

I was running Vista x32 looking at a x32 2k3 logs.

This seems to be related to the ressource DLLs. x64 seems to be unable
to load the x32 dlls and vice versa. Under XP 64bit, a 64bit app could
load the 32 bit ressource files. We currently have logged an application
developer support request with Microsoft. Even the native API has some
considerable problems on Vista. Our support request has been escalated
and no definitive answer is yet provided. We have been clued that there
may be a bug in Vista.

I hope this information is useful. But in short, this time it seems to
be problematic.

If I get some definitive response, I can post that.

Subject: [logs] Reviewing Vista/2k3 log files from the same platform

So I was looking at a 2k3 log file.. and I did it on my test Vista
laptop... and I know and understand that Vista has new event IDs... so
I'm cool with that.. what I didn't realize is that apparently I can't
use the Vista MS Event viewer to open up 2k3/XP log files and review
what's going on... that even such events as 529 have lost information.

1. Is my conclusion correct?
2. What are the gurus of log viewing doing to be able to read logs
from
xp,2k3,Vista and ultimately Longhorn without firing up each platform?

When I'm doing a quick log file review... I just use what's native to
the box. Sorry for the stupid question... but what's a better way to
do
this?
