Windows Service Security Problem

B

bthubbard

Hello All,
I've run into a bit of an issue and I was hoping that someone here
could help me. I have inherited a Windows Service written in .Net 2.0
(C#) from a previous employee. It build successfully and I am able to
install it on the target machine via installutil but when I attempt to
run it I receive a security error. First I receive the dialog telling
me that the service could not be started "Error 1053: The service
did..." and then "An unhandled exception of type
'System.Security.SecurityException' occurred in System.dll" . I've
tried running the service on my local machine and opening the CLR
debugger and the errors seems to be related to EventLog.WriteEntry.
I've found the support article
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918122 and have added the

EventLogPermission eventLogPermission = new
EventLogPermission(EventLogPermissionAccess.Administer, ".");
eventLogPermission.PermitOnly(); to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
