I have figured out how to use the InstallUtil in conjunction with the ExceptionManagerInstaller component and I am able to publish exceptions. However, MS Exception Block internal exceptions are generated each time I publish my exception. I have attached the Event log output for both of these exceptions.
I modified the name of the Event source in the ExceptionManagerInstaller.cs file before I compiled it. It is called : CoolbluePublishedException. The installer runs fine and creates EventSource entries in the registry HKLM_SYSTEM_CurrentControlSet_Services_EventLog_Application for both CoolbluePublishedException and ExceptionManagerInternalException (the default)
As you can see, this works, but I don't want the overhead of a meaningless exception thrown every time. Is there a specific right I need to grant to the ASP.NET user to avoid this? I wish the documentation would state the explicit rights needed. Anyway, thanks for any help you or anyone else can provide

I'm trying to use the "Exception Management Application Block" that
Microsoft supplies. I've built and included all the relevant code but I'm
hitting a wall. When throwing an exception to be generated in the event log
in XML I get the following error on line 515:
Line 514: Try
Line 515: If Not EventLog.SourceExists(applicationName) Then
Line 516: EventLog.CreateEventSource(applicationName, logName)
Line 517: End If
Administrators group and made permisson changes to the registry EventLog
hive but no joy. Microsoft's documentation suggests that this was an issue
in the beta version of their code but not in the release version.
I've had that problem also. You need to "install" this block (on the
development machine(s)
and the server(s) where you deploy the app):
* start the "Visual Studio Command Prompt"
* go to the directory containing (some copy of) the dll's of this block
* execute " InstallUtil Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ExceptionManagement.dll
"
This will grant this block access to the eventlog.
After that it works perfectly.
