Help! How do I modify the required permissions as indicated in the error message below in order to create a new Event Log?

Security Exception
Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file.

Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException: Requested registry access is not allowed.

Source Error:


Line 25: if(!(EventLog.SourceExists(SourceName)))

Line 28: }
Line 29:

Thanks in advance.

I am also facing the same problem. I read on this forum that we can fix it by changing the security setting for the file AppEvent.evt but I don't know where to set security for the Appevent.evt file, it is in root/windows/system32/config directory. I am working in windows XP Pro.
