Generally, what I do is this:
In a separate application run by the admin, do something that calls
EventLog.CreateEventSource like Dominick suggested. Sometimes this is a
simple app. Another easy way to do it is to have an EventLogInstaller class
in your assembly and have the admin run InstallUtil.exe on your assembly.
This will run the installer class and create the event source.
Then, from my code, I would have something that simply calls
EventLog.WriteEntry, passing in the source you created in the step above,
the message string, log type and eventID if I wanted to use event IDs.
That is generally enough to get this working. There are a variety of other
deployment options including MSI and creating your own message files, but
this will give you basic event log functionality.
HTH,
