Where is the event log stored?

The configuration is identical to the other computers that were working; 
I think it is 0xFF

The INFO (and higher) messages weren't getting logged because this is 
what cause wpkg to crash.

Would it be possible to wrap those lines of code in a try/catch clause? 
I don't think errors writing to the event handler should be fatal and 
cause wpkg to abort.
