The easiest way is probably to create a small dll assembly project that uses
the EventLogInstaller class and then just run installutil.exe on it during
installation as the adminstrator. There are samples of this in the SDK
documentation on the class.
Alternately, you can do the same CreatEventSource stuff in a small console
application that you run as administrator. It is also possible to modify
the registry directly, although it is more straightforward to use the .NET
classses. Modifying the registry will give you more control though.
