In app.config you need to remove the default listener:
<remove name=“Default“/>
Documentation on MSDN is ok, when testing you need to remember that the log will not write until either the application is closed, or the log is flushed. So:
My.Application.Log.DefaultFileLogWriter.AutoFlush = True
My.Application.Log.DefaultFileLogWriter.Flush()
My.Application.Log.TraceSource.Flush()

Bug:
The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. To create the source, you need permission to read all event logs to make sure that the new source name is unique. In accessible logs:Security
This can occur if a .Net application attempts to create the source at runtime, but not as an administrator. It is better to perhaps create the source ahead of time as an administrator in regedit, then just use the source in the application.
Private _eventLog As New EventLog(“Application”)
‘EventLog.CreateEventSource(SourceName, LogName, MachineName)
In registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\
Add permission to Authenticated Users = Full Control
Or add to the specific key.
