2005 installation problem
All
I have a VS 2005 installation kit that, when executed, seems to work fine, however at the end of the process, it responds with an error message:
Source '' not registered on machine '.' or you do not have write access to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ EventLog registry key.
At this point, it returns from installation. The code in the installation package had some change, but nothing that I would expect this behavior.
Can anyone please help? Has anyone out there faced this situation before?
Yours faithfully
Paul J.

The error indicates that the installation cannot create a log source in the Windows event log. Does the installation user have administrator rights? If you are using Vista or Windows 7, you can try to run the installation with administrator rights (right click, run as administrator).
