We ran into the same problem, and we initially changed the machine.config
file to allow ASP.NET to create the custom event log. Our eventual
workaround, however, was to create the custom event log with a simple
application that we invoke during the application install. Once we defined
the event log (and sources!!!), we can write to the custom log from ASP.NET
(without having to modify the permissions).
