No logs on vista in program files

[Paul_uniquename <wa...@yahoo.com>]

No logs are written on vista. 

I assume this is because the application is run as user not admin, and
therefore log4net can't write to program files area?

Where are you writing your logs on vista?

I found out on another forum that you can use environment variables. 

<file value="${ALLUSERSPROFILE}\Application Data\MyStuff\logs\MyLog.log" />

This is the solution I needed.

Not only that, I am using a static logger class that uses
XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch().

I only have the Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData setting at
runtime. Have you got any code that fixes this on vista? I can't edit
log4net.config at design time with the new path or can I?

<file value="mylog.log" />

Is there an easy way to make it use a directory under
Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData without recoding the log
class?

Of course I'm not sure a user can write to CommonApplicationData either.
