Windows Service and the File System

[Chris Dunaway]

Can a Windows service write to a file on the local file system? I was
using the Enterprise Library to log to a file and also to the
application log. The entries to the application log work correctly,
but the entries to a log file do not write. I cannot find the log file
it is supposed to be writing to.

Thanks

If your service is running as "localsystem" it might be a problem of
insufficent rights

Yes.

What it this? When I do logging like this, I just open a FileStream,
write data to it and close the stream again.
