I tried to run this example (EntryToLog.aspx, chapter 17) in the book "Beginning ASP.NET 1.0 w/VB.Net" and I rec'd an error message saying I need to "change the application's trust level in the configuration file"; and under exception details it says "requested registry access is not allowed".

Can anyone advise me how to enable this so I can run the example ?

Thx much....

Try changing the "userName" in the <processModel> node in your machine.config file(not web.config) to userName="SYSTEM", instead of userName="machine". This worked for me. If your using .net 1.1 the <processModel> node should be on line 354. There was a note that is directly above line 354, in case your running IIS 6. that reads:
"When ASP.NET is running under IIS 6 in native mode, the IIS 6 process model is used and settings in this section are ignored. Please use the IIS administrative UI to configure things like process identity and cycling for the IIS worker process for the desired application"

Make sure you reboot your computer, for the change to take effect.

Good Luck,

Hi,

Take note, however, that changing the <processModel> userName in machine.config to SYSTEM poses a security risk. You may also want to put the following into your application's web.config file:

    <identity impersonate="true" />

Corcoran,
Marlon has a right, it is recommended to use impersonation. In that way you force aspnet process to run under Windows logon account. So, you can then assign requested permissions to this account.
Unfortunately, I have not this book, but I suppose that your app try to write something in Application log. That suppose that your app account has write permission on file. So, you have to add write permission to the account u use for aspnet process execution on this file. Be ensure that your IIS disallow an anonymous access.
