NOTE: This error message does not appear in the Event log. Errors occurred when trying to write it to the Event log. This is what it would look like if it were successful.

The error message is not written to the log because the error message's size exceeds the maximum size for Event log records. An event log record has a maximum size of 32 KB of ASCII text, or (in this case), 16 KB of unicode text.
