IIRC I didn't have an optimal solution for it, but the logger should fall back to writing to a file is it doesn't have the rights to create a Windows log. Setup XWord was used on an outdated build of XOffice. The advantage of using it was that it allowed custom setup actions(extra screens, custom code like registering log groups, etc). The issue is that is not well integrated with VSTO and even with proper code/assembly signing the add-in will fail to start on some custom Windows and Office distributions. The current installer is ClickOnce based and is bundled in the "XWord" project, unfortunately it's harder to customize it. I guess the only quick & healthy solution to this issue is to remove the system logging. Florin Ciubotaru

Hi Paul, Can you contribute your patches to jira.xwiki.org? I'd like to make a release that supports newer XWiki versions.
