Installer fail when Security Event log access is blocked

Hi,

I am using TransactedInstaller to install a service onto a Windows Server 2003 machine. The service is a .NET application. During installation, I receive an error:

"..Inaccessible logs: Security.."

I'm running the installer with Administrator rights and my access to the Security log is blocked due to compliance. I'm trying to gather more information on how the installer interacts with the Security log so that the IT department has a better understanding on how to proceed.

My questions are:

(1) Why does the installer need access to the Security Event log?

(2) Will the installer and/or the installed service need access to the Security Event log after install?

Thanks,

Ray
