I am using the Exception Managment Application Block on Windows Server 2003
Enterprise and .NET v1.1.

If I use the block with an ASP.NET web wervice or in a web application I get
the following error:

------------------------------------

System.Security.SecurityException: The event source
ExceptionManagerInternalException does not exist and cannot be created with
the current permissions. ---> System.Security.SecurityException: Requested
registry access is not allowed.

I think this is a permissions issue with the ASP user, but I do not want to
change the ASP permissions (for other security reasons). Does anyone know
another way aroud this issue? Any pointers, links, samples, etc. would be
appreciated. Thank you.
 
PCC,

If you don't want to change the ASPNET user permissions, then you can
change the permissions on the registry key that it is trying to access so
that the ASPNET user has access to it.

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks Nicholas, I swear you are always the first to answer any questions I
post in these newsgroups!

This never seemed to be an issue with .NET 1.0 and Windows 2000 Server. I
am a little hesitant to grant permissions to the ASPNET user if there was
another way around the problem. If nobody else comes up with a work around,
I will grant the ASPNET user the needed permissions. Thanks.

Run installutil against the exception management block assembly - this
creates the event source.

ExceptionManagerInternalException

I don't know against what run the installutil. Could someone write a more specific example about how can I do this? I found that you should run this against an exe file but I don't have an exe because I'm programming a Web Solution.

In advance thank you for your advice.

To fix the error:" The event source
ExceptionManagerInternalException does not exist and cannot be created with
the current permissions.", do this:


  1. Open regedt32 (not the standard, regedit) and navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog
  2. click on "Security-->Permissions..." in the menu.
  3. Add the ASPNET account for the local machine and place a check next to "Full Control".
Restart the machine and click on 'Yes' to accept the cahnges when machine is re-booted.

Hope that works for you,
Umer
