I think this must be a faq, but can I find the answer - no.

I successfully used the logging app block in my windows app (sample test),
but I'm now putting it in to my web services. When I try am raise an event
from the web services I'm getting an Error in the event log from EIF, saying
that the LogEventSink cannot be used because a Security Exception was thown,
as below:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Enterprise Instrumentation
Event Category: None
Event ID: 0
