ActivationFailureLoggingLevel
Sets the verbosity of event log entries about failed requests for component launch and activation.
Registry Entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole
ActivationFailureLoggingLevel = value
Remarks
This is a REG_DWORD value.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Use discretionary logging. Log failures by default, but clients can override this behavior by specifying CLSCTX_NO_FAILURE_LOG in CoCreateInstanceEx. This is the default value. |
| 1 | Always log all failures no matter what the client specified. |
| 2 | Never log any failures no matter what the client specified. |
If you need an application to control event logging, it is recommended that you set this value to 0 and write the client code to override it when needed. It is strongly recommended that you do not set the value to 2. If event logging is disabled, it is more difficult to diagnose problems. For machine restrictions permission failures, where COM does not have the CLSCTX bits, COM will treat a value of 0 as 1.
