Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging | Unable to write ERROR to a Log /text File

[EDN Admin]

hello
I am using Enterprise library for logging and try to write the exception in a log file / text file.<br/>
What I did is I have copied required for Enterprise Library to my machine from a different machine (working project).
C# Code - <br/>
public static void LogError(Exception ex, string additionalMessage)<br/>
{<br/>
LogEntry logEntry = new LogEntry();
logEntry.Categories.Add("MedicalCongressErrors");<br/>
logEntry.Severity = TraceEventType.Error;<br/>
logEntry.Message = ex.Message;<br/>
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ex.StackTrace))<br/>
{<br/>
logEntry.ExtendedProperties.Add("StackTrace:", ex.StackTrace);<br/>
}<br/>
logEntry.ExtendedProperties.Add("Additional Info:", additionalMessage);<br/>
logEntry.ExtendedProperties.Add("filelocation", @"C:LogsTest1.txt"); //newly Added .. can be COMMENTED as it there in web.config
<br/>
Logger.Write(logEntry);<br/>
}<br/>
Configured web.config -
