Nlog doesn't work in windows service

[neonash]

Hi

I have the Nlog.config but it doesn't work in windows or console app:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" autoReload="true"
throwExceptions="false" internalLogFile="D:\NLogErrors\ErrorLogFile.txt" >
<extensions>
<!-- load NLog.Extended to enable ASP.NET-specific functionality -->
<add assembly="NLog.Extended" />
</extensions>
<!--Define Various Log Targets like files, database or asp.net trace files-->
<targets>
<target name="console" xsi:type="ColoredConsole" layout="${message}" />
<!--Write logs to File where we want to write error logs-->
<target name="file" xsi:type="File" fileName="${basedir}/logs/${shortdate}.WebErrorLogFile.txt"
layout="---- ${level}(${longdate})${machinename}---- ${newline}
${newline}
Exception Type:${exception:format=Type}${newline}
Exception Message:${exception:format=Message}${newline}
Additional Info:${message}${newline}
ProcessId:${processid}${newline}
ProcessName:${processname}${newline}
ProcessAccountName:${windows-identity}${newline}
MachineName:${machinename}${newline}
ThreadId:${threadid}${newline}
Stack Trace:${exception:format=Stack Trace}${newline}
">
</target>

</targets>

<rules>
<logger name="*" minlevel="trace" writeTo="file" />

</rules>
</nlog>


I don't understand the mistake. Does Nlog work only in ASPNET or WCF?
