Dumpevt always dumps full log?

[Guest]

Thank you in advance for any help that you can give!
I am running a script that dumps each log every hour to an .ini file using the following command:
c:\pctech\dumpevt\dumpevt.exe /logfile=app /outfile=c:\pctech\reports\applog.ini
Dumpevt is appending to the file correctly, however is appending all the previous logs and not just the "new" event logs since the last dump. What do I have wrong in my command?
I have already downloaded the lastest and greatest dumpevt files.

DumpEvt writes the event ID that it last dumped into the registry, and also echos the parameters when its run. See if you can send a picture or extract of the parameters that it displays to [email protected].

The registry entry for the event log under HKEY_XXX\Software\SomarSoft\dumpevt should show you if its writing the last record correctly. The process that you are running DumpEvt under will need write access to this registry key.
