letsencrypt.exe closes down unexpectedly

[mtaylor90028]

Issue description

On a Windows 10 Pro machine, I compiled the project in Visual Studio 10. I ran the exe "letsencrypt.exe" from the bin\Debug folder. It opens very quickly with an error then closes. Any ideas to why I cannot get it to remain open?

Error:
Error while creating logger: The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible logs: Security. - at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.FindSourceRegistration(String source, String machineName, Boolean readOnly, Boolean wantToCreate)

Had same issue, figured it out: It wants to run as admin.

I was able to solve this problem by running as adminitrator

Yes the application manifest was missing for some reason. 1.9.10 and hopefully above will automatically try/ask to run as admin again.
