Or as SYSTEM (while installing an MSI, for example). We need a system service anyway, so I just made it do different things such like this. Well, running as admin will also work, of course.

But we deploy our application via ClickOnce deployment and there you don't have any way to create such things during the installation. So my solution will be, to write a helper application which creates the EventLog-source which needs to be run as administrator. Deepak,

In normal course you will create performance counters when your application is installed and the installer will need to run as administrator. Matti,

Otherwise, a security exception is thrown. I'm looking for a solution for this behavior, but without luck yet. If I do find somthing that works, I will tell you.

And yes it works fine on my Vista machine. Here is the code: static void Main(string[] args) { string source = "Test Log"; if (!EventLog.Exists(source)) EventLog.CreateEventSource(source, "Application"); EventLog.WriteEntry(source, "Writing Error", EventLogEntryType.Error, 7); } Can you post the exception you are getting. Chad,

}

Can you post the exception you are getting.
