EventLogAppender's ActivateOptions throws SecurityException on Vista/Win2k3 and
later when not run as administrator
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LOG4NET-310
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-310
Project: Log4net
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.2.10
Reporter: Stefan Bodewig
Fix For: 1.2.11
ActivateOptions uses EventLog.SourceExists which throws an exception of the
source hasn't been found in any of the logs the user was allowed to read and
there are others (in particular "Security") that the user is not allowed to
access.
This is the reason of one of the unit test errors I reported in LOG4NET-301
Even if the code catches the exception and assumes the source doesn't exist
this won't help as EventLog.CreateEventSource must not be called without
administrator privileges either.
