Question Strange Error on Attempt to Install Service Application

[dtgeadamo]

I created a VB.NET Service application and I have decided to install it on my computer using installutils.exe. After building the application, I open the SDK framework command line and ran the following command:

installutil KleinDevortService.exe

KleinDevortService.exe being the built assembly for the service application. After running this command, I get the following:

Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Installation utility Version

Running a transacted installation.

An exception occurred during the Rollback phase of the installation. This exception will be ignored and the rollback will continue.

However, the machine might not fully revert to its initial state after the rollback is complete.

The Rollback phase completed successfully.

The transacted install has completed.
The installation failed, and the rollback has been performed.

I do not understand this error and I would appreciate anyone's help in explaining this error (System.Security.SecurityException: The source was not
found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible logs: Security) and recommending an effective solution. Thanks for your help, everyone.
