- IComponent
An IComponent to use as a template for the EventLogInstaller.
Exceptions
The specified component is not an EventLog.
-or-
The Log or Source property of the specified component is either null or empty.
Remarks
The component specified by the component parameter must be an EventLog; otherwise, an exception is thrown.
Typically, you do not call the methods of the EventLogInstaller from within your code; they are generally called only by the Installutil.exe (Installer Tool). CopyFromComponent is used by Installutil.exe to set the property values for the EventLogInstaller to the values of an existing EventLog.
If the Log of the EventLog that is passed in is an empty string (""), you must set the Log property to a valid value before the installer executes.
