I am trying to using the Logging Application block of Enterprise Library 5.0 to log simple message to the Windows event log on Win XP SP3 system using:
Logger.Write(msg);
I get the "Activation error occured while trying to get instance of type LogWriter" error message when trying to log.
Shown below is the config file used with MS Enterprise library
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
