Enterprise Library Exception Handling 6.0 XML Logging not writing File

Question

I'm trying to setup the Enterprise Library Exception Handling 6.0 to log errors using the XmlExceptionFormatter in the Enterprise Library Logging Application Block. I'm not receiving any errors, and I can get the Logging to work by itself.

Here is my App.config from the console application I'm testing from:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="loggingConfiguration"

  </exceptionHandling>

  <startup>
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />
  </startup>
</configuration>

My test is:

class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        TestExceptionManager();

        Console.ReadLine();
    }

    private static void TestExceptionManager()
    {
        ExceptionManager exceptionManager = new ExceptionManager();
        exceptionManager.Process(MyExceptionCode, "Policy");
    }

    private static void MyExceptionCode()
    {
        throw new Exception("A basic Exception");
    }
}

Any suggestions to get this to log correctly?

In version 6 you need to use the factory method, updated example:

using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.Configuration;
using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling;
using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging;
using System;

namespace ExceptionHandlingExamples
{
    class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                TestExceptionManager();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
            }

            Console.ReadLine();
        }

        private static void TestExceptionManager()
        {
            IConfigurationSource config = ConfigurationSourceFactory.Create();
            ExceptionPolicyFactory factory = new ExceptionPolicyFactory(config);
            Logger.SetLogWriter(new LogWriterFactory().Create());

            ExceptionManager exceptionManager = factory.CreateManager();

            exceptionManager.Process(MyExceptionCode, "Policy");
        }

        private static void MyExceptionCode()
        {
            throw new Exception("A basic Exception");
        }
    }
}
