It looks like the code is trying to write to the security log and can't.

Is this what gives you that impression?

Solution 1

"Inaccessible logs: Security" means that you are trying to write something to the "Security" section of the event log. You could try the "Application" section instead, or write your logs to your own log files.

Solution 2

When an application launches, it launches AS the user that launched it.

Normal users cannot write to the Security event log, for reasons that are fairly obvious. They can write to the Application event log though.
