                  EventLog
                      Security

• The szEventMessageFile member is added as the data in a REG_SZ value named EventMessageFile under the event source key.
• The szEventAccessStringsFile member is added as the data in a REG_SZ value named ParameterMessageFile under the event source key.
• If the registry path does not exist, it is created.

• If the szEventSourceXmlSchemaFile member is not NULL, it is added as the data in a REG_SZ value named XmlSchemaFile under the event source key. This value is not used.
• The szExecutableImagePath member must be set to NULL.
