To be more explicit, right click the application (exe) and choose "Run as Administrator"

Read this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.eventlog.aspx

That is why everybody says not write to eventlog with impersonation. You have to put the user or user group into the local Administrator group whitch is not advised. The service user could have this privilege.

I think you must have Admin privilege for creating new EventLog.
