Redirect log4net log in the User Directory

Question

I have a program that uses log4net. It logs directly in the exe folder.

Now, when passing to station with Windows > XP (Vista, Seven) I observed that the logs are not always created, due I suppose to the user privileges and other security stuff...

Could I redirect logs to the user folder? Say

\\Username\MyProgram\Logs

Answer 1

Example of config.xml:

<appender name="RollingLogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
    <file value="${USERPROFILE}\MyProgramName\Logs\rolling-log-" />
    <appendToFile value="true" />
    <maxSizeRollBackups value="5" />
    <maximumFileSize value="100KB" />
    <rollingStyle value="Date" />
    <datePattern value="yyyy-MM-dd.'log'" />
    <staticLogFileName value="false" />
    <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        <header value="[Log opening]&#13;&#10;" />
        <footer value="[Log closing]&#13;&#10;" />
        <conversionPattern value="%date %-5level %logger - %message%newline" />
    </layout>
</appender>

remark the ${USERPROFILE} environment variable.
