    I cannot get the first "walkthrough" in EIF help to
    produce a log file. After running
    SimpleInstrumentation.exe I search the whole drive and
    there is no TraceLog.log file.

    I have this in TraceSessions.config:
    <session name="TraceSession" enabled="true"
    fileName="C:\work\TraceLog.log" />

    TraceSessionManager.exe.config does not define that key.

    When I run my SimpleInstrumentation.exe, it does indeed
    produce an Info event in Application event viewer (but no
    error event, so it is reading and parsing
    EnterpriseInstrumentation.config just fine).

    EnterpriseInstrumentation.config in the bin\debug entry
    (where SimpleInstrumentation.exe is) contains this:

    <filters>
      <filter name="defaultSoftwareElementFilter"
    description=" A default filter for the Software Element
    event sources.">
         <eventCategoryRef name="All Events">
            <eventSinkRef name="traceSink" />
            <eventSinkRef name="logSink" />
         </eventCategoryRef>
      </filter>
      <filter name="defaultRequestFilter" description="A
    default filter for the Request event sources." />
    </filters>

    I'm on Windows XP SP1.

    Doesn't seem like the first sample should be this hard. ;)
