    IIS 7/Windows Event Logger "source XXX cannot be found" warning

    Windows 2008 Server, 64-bit OS, IIS in 32-bit WOW mode

    When my ASP.NET 2.0 application trys to write to the Windows Event Logger, the following is getting put at the top of every Windows Event Logger entry:

    The description for Event ID 0 from source Assist 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.

    Do you know how I can keep this message from happening in each Event Logger entry?

     Thanks!

    Here's the start of a sample Windows Event Logger entry:

    Log Name:      Application
    Source:        Assist
    Date:          8/6/2008 4:09:28 PM
    Event ID:      0
    Task Category: None
    Level:         Error
    Keywords:      Classic
    User:          N/A

    Description:
    The description for Event ID 0 from source Assist 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:

    System Error:
    DomainId: -1, UserId: -1, EmployeeId: -1, Product Version: 1.0.5.0

    ErrorDescription:
