I hope this is just something stupid I'm missing and someone can easily point
out my error. I'm trying to do a few turorials on windows services, and the
couple I found so far just create an event log and write an entry on start
and stop. I build the projects and install them fine, but when I run the
service it starts and stops instantly. The service is not creating the
custom event log I wanted it to but instead adds an error message in the
Application event log saying that the source I declared for my eventlog was
not registered to the eventlog I declaired. I'm not sure I understand
because I found several articles on line saying if you included a custom
source and log for an EventLog component, if they were not present they were
automatically created. Here is the code I use to intialize the event log:
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
' This call is required by the Component Designer.
InitializeCompo nent()
' Add any initialization after the InitializeCompo nent() call
' Test if the event log exists; if not, create it
If (Not System.Diagnost ics.EventLog.So urceExists("Ser viceOne")) Then
EventLog.Create EventSource("Se rviceOne", "ServiceOneLog" )
End If
' Set the source and log properties for the event log
EventLog1.Sourc e = "ServiceOne "
EventLog1.Log = "ServiceOne Log"
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
' Add code here to start your service. This method should set things
' in motion so your service can do its work.
EventLog1.Write Entry("ServiceO ne is starting.")
End Sub
I'm not sure why this is failing. All the examples I find say this should
work. Do I need to set something up to be allowed to create an event log?
I've tried setting up the service as both a local service and as a service
under an admin user with now luck? Can anyone give me any advice on what I'm
missing?

I hit the same wall and after some debugging found out that the service
did not have the correct security rights to create a event log.
You can change the security setting, but after some searching quite some
people recomemded creating the event log during the install (Custom Action).
This is the point that I'm at. If I get it to work 100% I will let you
know.

Hi Chris,
Try impersonating the service to run under admin account. And I'm using
the below code, it works fine.
' creation of event log if it does not exist
Dim eventLogName As String = "PROS"
If Not EventLog.Source Exists(eventLog Name) Then
EventLog.Create EventSource(eve ntLogName, eventLogName)
End If
' insert into eventlog
Dim log As New EventLog()
log.Source = eventLogName
log.WriteEntry( errorDescriptio n, EventLogEntryTy pe.Error)
Cheers,
Kris

Hi all,
I can't get a py2exe compiled app to run with numarray (numarray-0.5.win32-
py2.2).
Also wxPythonWIN32-2.3.3.1-Py22 and ActivePython-2.2.1-222.
In the sample below, commenting out "import numarray" allows the exe to
run. Left in, I get "4.exe has generated errors" etc.
I'm going around and around and there isn't much on Google.
py2exe output is last.

Hi,
I'm sure this issue has been covered before but after searching around I
can't find anything which deals with quite the same set of circumstances or
suggests an optimal solution.
The issue is, broadly, that when I try to write to the Windows Event Log
from ASP.NET code I receive a System.Security.SecurityException ("Requested
registry access is not allowed").

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
