It worked fine then one day I started getting the timeout on Start errors. I had instantiated an EventLogger from System. Diagnostics, but whatever error I was seeing must have been happening before the Logger was able to write I started poking around in some of the other EventLogs besides those for my Service.

Under Application -. Basically, there were some exceptions in my service's constructor one turned out to be an exception in the EventLog instance setup - which explained why I could not see any logs in my Service EventLog. On a previous build apparently there had been other errors which had caused me to make the changes leading to the error in the EventLog set up. Install the debug build of the service and attach the debugger to the service to see what's happening.

I want to echo mdb's comments here. Don't go this path. Your service is not supposed to have a UI If you need to configure your service, write another application that edits the same configuration that the service reads on startup. But make it a distinct tool -- when you want to start the service, you start the service. When you want to configure it, you run the configuration tool. Now, if you need realtime monitoring of the service, then that's a little trickier and certainly something I've wished for with services.

Now you're talking about having to use interprocess communications and other headaches. Worst of all, if you need user interaction, then you have a real disconnect here, because services don't interact with the user.

In your shoes I would step back and ask why does this need to be a service? And why does it need user interaction? This folder for some reason was corrupted. I deleted the folder and service start working back again happily as usual…. I had this problem, it took about a day to fix. For me the problem was that my code skipped the "main content" and effectively ran a couple of lines then finished.

And this caused the error for me. It is a C console application which installs a Windows Service, as soon as it tried to run it with the ServiceController sc. Run then it would give this error for me. As lots of people have already said, the error could be anything, and the solutions people provide may or may not solve it. Try and get your code to run without using sc. Run i. Run would have executed. This problem usually occurs when there is some reference missing on your assembly and usually the binding fails at the run time.

Sleep in the main. Then start the process and attach the debugger to the process while it is starting. Press f5 after it hit the break point. It will throw the exception of missing assembly or reference. Once try to run your exe file. I had the same problem, but when I ran it direct by double click on the exe file, I got a message about.

Net framework version, because I was released the service project with a framework which it wasn't installed on target machine. Net version. My issue wasn't due to any error. I had a BlockingCollection. GetConsumingEnumerable in the way that caused the windows service to wait.

I had this problem too. In my project I had it setup to run as Local Service account. So when I installed it, by default it was using Local Service. I'm using. So installing. In my case, I had this trouble due to a genuine error. I fixed the issue in five minutes! I found Wow, 5 minutes at 3 sites. What's your version? I want Well Done!
