ReportEvent() failed: The parameter is incorrect. Error

[Bill Stephens]

I'm getting this error on a windows server when it's trying to compare 2 files using gnuwin32 diff.exe.

Debug: Executing 'C:\GnuWin32\bin\diff -u d:/AICS.CLAIMS.new/ASPX/App.config C:/
Users/BSTEPH~1/AppData/Local/Temp/2/puppet-file20131003-4508-11k0jfs'

Error: /Stage[main]/Claims/File[d:/AICS.CLAIMS.new/ASPX/App.config]: Could not e
valuate: ReportEvent() failed: The parameter is incorrect.

However, when I try it comparing to a backup copy of the file, the diff is executing correctly:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Puppet Labs\Puppet\bin>C:\GnuWin32\bin\diff -u d:/AICS.CL

Any ideas what the issue might be?

Can you try running that with `--debug --trace`. Puppet is trying to write the diff to the Application Event Log and the ReportEvent api is failing. Presumably it doesn't like something in the diff content.

 

However, when I try it comparing to a backup copy of the file, the diff is executing correctly:
