Hi folks,

does anyone have knowlewdge whether there is a winevt.h translation
for FPC/Lazarus?

AFAIK it is needed to read the "Applications and Services" Eventlogs
introduced with Windows Vista. The old Routines included in the
Windows unit won't work with these.

Thnx, Armin

Thaddy?

jvawwindows ... non existent unit. Found no trace it exists.

Your way of saying "use Java"? Seriously?

Jwawindows is perfectly fine in packages/winunits-jedi and deeper, as
well as unit for individual headers.

Note that contrary to Windows, these (formerly third party) drivers
are less checked for windows 64-bit issues, so if you make 64-bit
binaries, be careful

No idea if it's going to start a nuclear rocket in North Korea
Needs further work (see comments)
