Hi John,
In order to create a new Event Source, you need to be a member of the Administrators group. One workaround is to have a separate program that creates the source for you, then you can run just this program from an admin account, and your service can still run under "non-admin" credentials.

Unless I make the account under which my Windows Service runs a member of local Administrators, I get startup failures if I include the following code in the OnStart() event :
if(!EventLog.SourceExists("MyLog")) { EventLog.CreateEventSource("My Log", "Application"); } EventLog appLog = new EventLog(); appLog.Source = eventSource; appLog.WriteEntry("Test Log Entry",EventLogEntryType.Information);
Seems extreme to make a Service's credentials a member of local Administrators ... any ideas ?
