All,
I am having a problem using the Logging Application Block and EIF with a Windows Service I am writing. If I run the Service under an admin account all works fine. However, If i run it under a normal user account I get the following error message in the EventLog
Error loading an Event Sink of type 'Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Logging.EventSinks.LogEventSink, Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Logging.EventSinks, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9f8ff21927effe54'. The Event Source of name 'DOL.WorkerObject.1' will not write events out to this Event Sink. The following exception was returned during the load:
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Security.SecurityException: Requested registry access is not allowed.

It appears that there is some security setting that the service account needs to access this but I can't figure out what setting it is. Does anyone have any ideas? I hate to have to run the service as an Admin just for logging.
Thanks!
