My application calls a library (which I do not have control) that creates a new EventLog source and uses EventLog.SourceExists. It throws System.Security.SecurityException: The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible logs: Security.
The app needs read access to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Security. How do I give Network Service permissions to registry (programmatically)?
Thanks for any pointers.
You are getting this error message because your “new Source” is not registered, and for that you need administration privileges. Try run your APP as “Administrator” in Console.
I once hacked the “registry” as well, by adding in the “Source” myself, but that’s probably ill-advised.
