writing a message to the NT event log

Hello,

to get the "Windows Vista Logo" for our installer it is sometimes necessary to write to the NT event log.
Is there a built-in function to do this with InstallAware?
If not - how could I do this?

Regards,
Alibaba

You could write a DLL that logs entries to the Windows Event log.

Which requirement specifically requires that the installer write to the event log for Vista logo compliance? I know that the application is supposed to write to the eventlog, but I don't know of any requirement for the installer to do so.
