Manually updating the GUI and documentation

Scroll Prev Top Next More

This section describes how to update the EventSentry GUI, message file and the documentation.

 

Management Console (GUI)

To update the management console, replace eventsentry_gui.exe with the updated version of the archive.

 

Messagefile

To update the messagefile replace %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\eventsentry_svc_x64.exe with the updated version of the archive. Please note that you will need to close all applications that lock the event log, such as the native Windows eventviewer prior to replacing the messagefile.

 

On Windows Server 2003 you will need to stop/start or pause/continue the WinMgmt service prior to replacing eventsentry_svc_x64.exe. Restart the  service after you have updated the file.

 

Documentation

To update the documentation replace eventsentry_hlp.chm with the updated version of the archive. The helpfile should always be in the same directory as the GUI eventsentry_gui.exe.
