User EventLog and Vista

[Marcus Müller]

Hi,

I'm using an user defined EventLog called "Fist Full of Lasers" within a C#
service. The Log is created during the installation of the service in which
the first entry of the log is written also.

This works fine with Windows XPSP2. However, with Vista all entries are
written in the Application-Log and not the "Fist Full of Lasers" Log:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.ServiceProcess;
using System.Configuration.Install;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace LogicLink.ffol {

[RunInstaller(true)]
public class ILDACMSSVRInstaller : Installer {

private ServiceInstaller _si;
private ServiceProcessInstaller _spi;

public ILDACMSSVRInstaller() {

_si = new ServiceInstaller();
_si.ServiceName = "ffolsvr";
_si.DisplayName = "Fist full of Lasers";
_si.Description = Properties.Resources.ServiceDescription;
_si.StartType = ServiceStartMode.Automatic;
foreach(Installer inst in _si.Installers) {
if(inst is EventLogInstaller) {
((EventLogInstaller)inst).Log = "Fist Full of Lasers";
}
}

_spi = new ServiceProcessInstaller();
_spi.Account = ServiceAccount.LocalService;

Installers.Add(_si);
Installers.Add(_spi);
}

protected override void
OnAfterInstall(System.Collections.IDictionary savedState) {

EventLog lg = new EventLog();
lg.Source = "ffolsvr";
lg.WriteEntry("Fist Full of Lasers service installed.");

base.OnAfterInstall(savedState);
}
protected override void
OnAfterUninstall(System.Collections.IDictionary savedState) {

// Lösche Log
if(EventLog.Exists("Fist Full of Lasers", "."))
EventLog.Delete("Fist Full of Lasers");

base.OnAfterUninstall(savedState);
}
}
}
Many thanks in advance,

Marcus
