Hi Geir,

I got around this problem by using a different approach,
that doen't involve the installer:

using System.Diagnostics;
public void ensureEventLog(string Source)
{
  if(!EventLog.SourceExists("myLogName", "."))
  {
    EventLog.CreateEventSource(Source, "myLogName", ".");
  }

  ntLog = new EventLog("myLogName", ".", Source);
}

Hope this does what you need
Paul
