Re: Windows Service - Event Log

Yes, but why do you want your service to write to this key?
Only Administrators (and localsystem) are allowed to write to HKLM and
descendants, Service accounts are not supposed to write to HKLM. If you
really need your service to write to HKLM, you need to run as "localsystem".
Again if you grant a non privileged account write access to HKLM, you
severely compromise your system's security.
