Thanks for the reply David,
Unfortunately, this does not seem to work for us. I had already done exactly
what you proposed, but we still receive the exception
"System.Security.SecurityException: Requested registry access is not
allowed." whenever we attempt to use the WriteEntry function. It's somewhat
frustrating given how MS has continually touted customer event logs as a
great feature of .NET development.
I wonder what other differences there must be between our configurations
that allow it to work for you and not us.
