This code works find in a Winforms app and fails in a webservice.

if(!EventLog.SourceExists(EventSourceName))
EventLog.CreateEventSource(EventSourceName,"Application");

What permissions should I give to the IIS user, or if that's not the issue,
then what's wrong?

I'll answer my own question (I figured it out).

Not enough permission for the user account under which the webservice runs.
This is an environmental issue. It is not a good plan to allow the requisite
permissions so redesign for the source to be created by the setup kit, which
typically runs with elevated permissions.
