See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/579688/why-is-the-date-appended-twice-on-filenames-when-using-log4net It may be a file permission issue. If you're running it as a service under NETWORK_SERVICE, you may want to follow the answer there and give it more permissions. If file permission proves to be the problem here, and if security is very important, you might want to create a limited user account, grant it the minimum working set of permissions and run your service under this user account. > Example 2 > > We have two applications App1.exe and App2.exe that both write logs into the > same log file.
