Thanks is the nirsoft one only for the logs on the pc you run the software. Or can it view orphaned evtx files you have pulled from another system?
yes by default it is used to access the local or remote machine event viewer - just see it as another alternate viewer. It can still process file based using the /LoadFiles when you input as option when running the exe.

For example:
MyEventViewer.exe /LoadFiles "c:\temp\app.evt" "Application"
MyEventViewer.exe /LoadFiles "c:\temp\sec.evt" "Security" "c:\temp\app.evt" "Application"
MyEventViewer.exe /shtml "c:\temp\events1.html" /LoadFiles "c:\temp\sec.evt" "Security" "c:\temp\app.evt" "Application"
MyEventViewer.exe /remote \\MyComputerName
MyEventViewer.exe /remote \\192.168.0.1

Ultimately though these are logs pulled from an old backup and not live local or remote analysis of current logs
good to test out to make the evtx or evt format is maintained since the tools is to work off offline extracted files
