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\Servic es\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 From http://www.developmentnow.com/g/4_2003_9_0_0_63107/Exception-Management-Application-Block--installation-problem-in-ASP-NET--The-event-source-Exceptio.htm Posted via DevelopmentNow.com Groups http://www.developmentnow.com
