Writing to event logs

[gosh]

I don't know if i or anyone else has mentioned this, but one idea for your unattended install could be to write to the event logs. You could add an event log when setup is done, or you could write event logs as software, registry hacks, etc are installed.

write to event log:

eventcreate /t information /id 12 /SO Gosh /l application /d "gosh golly"

That'll write to the appications event log with title Gosh and message gosh golly.

You could add this in your scripts. For example if there's any errors running a script you could put the error in the body of an event log.
