I have this with my Excel COM-Addins. The below might help you (i.e. you need to use TCP/IP).

Ray,

That would be a very useful tool as I create CSL log files for different days and this would make it very easy to find messages within a whole collection of them.

Dave.

I don’t know what’s happened to my first post but what account is your service running under and does that account have read/write access to the location you want to create the .csl file?

Warren,

I don’t know if this will help you but I use the following in a desktop application for logging to a file and the live view (if the dispatcher is running – for TCP/IP this needs to be manually started if I remember as it will not be started automatically under TCP/IP)

Const
  (** A constant for the log file extension. **)
  strLogExt = '.csl';
  (** A constant for the AppData environment variable. **)
  strAppDataEnviroVar = 'AppData';
  (** A constant for the Seasons Fall subdirectory under AppData. **)
  strSeasonFallDir = '\Season''s Fall\XER Tools\';
  (** ISO Date format for the CSL files. **)
  strFileDateFmt = ' yyyy-mm-dd';
Var
  (** A local private variable for the FileDestination CodeSiteLogger. **)
  FileDest: TCodeSiteDestination;
(** This section creates a file based CodeSite Logger for the applciation in the same directory. **)
Initialization
  FileDest := TCodeSiteDestination.Create(Nil);
  FileDest.LogFile.Active := True;
  FileDest.LogFile.FilePath := System.SysUtils.GetEnvironmentVariable(strAppDataEnviroVar) +
    strSeasonFallDir;
  FileDest.LogFile.FileName := ChangeFileExt(ExtractFileName(ParamStr(0)), 
    FormatDateTime(strFileDateFmt, Now()) + strLogExt);
  FileDest.Viewer.Active := True;
  CodeSite.Destination := FileDest;
  CodeSiteLogging.CodeSiteManager.ConnectUsingTcp();
(** Frees the file based logger. **)
Finalization
  FileDest.Free;
End.

Keith,

I’m not aware of an specific instructions but there are 2 things to fix. The first is your IDE library path and the second the CodeSite IDE plug-in. The best option is to run the IDE as per the account you logged in as to install the software and then go to the IDE Options | Delphi | Library and note down the CS paths that were added and secondly for the plug-in go to the Installed Components and look for the location of the CS IDE plug-in package. Then replicate them in your user acccount IDE.

Keith,
Do you run as a limited user but install as an Administrator. If so, the paths for the DCUs and IDE plug-ins will have been installed under the Administrator’s profile not yours and you will have to manually add them your RAD Studio.

This happens for me as I run as a limited user and not an Administrator.

Dave.
