PowerShell Version 1.0 - Event Logging

We have a client with PowerShell 1.0. I know in PowerShell 2.0, I have a batch file Write-EventLog. However, this does not appear in PowerShell 1.0. I want my script to log events in the event log, mainly for debugging purposes.

How can I do this with PowerShell 1.0 :? And I can not upgrade this computer to PowerShell 2.0. This is a machine for the production of customers, and they do not want to touch the software on it.

You can use the .NET EventLog class for this. It is quite simple to use, for example:

$eventSource = "MyAppName"
if (![Diagnostics.EventLog]::SourceExists($eventSource))
{
    [Diagnostics.EventLog]::CreateEventSource($eventSource, "Application")
}

[Diagnostics.EventLog]::WriteEntry($eventSource, "message", [Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType]::Error)
