Problems with deploying a windows service

[jmeckley]

I created a windows service in .net using the walk through provided in the help files. I buildt the solution and installed it on my windows XP machine to test it.

The log files say it installs successfuly, but when I check the computer managment screen I do not see the service listed. The service was setup to run automatically.

any ideas, why it's not showing up in the list of services?

Did you install it using CommandLine ? . Run Services Manager and refresh the content , it might show up there.

I now have the service installed on my box. I removed some of the installer objects the walk through suggested and it worked.

I can now see it as a service on my machine, but it is stopped. It was set to run automatically, but it didn't. I attempted to start it manually and got an access denied error. I changed the log on account to my username and password (i have admin rights)

Now I get

Error 1053: The sercie did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

I haven't been able to find much on the net about what this means and why it's happening.

What did you set this obj ServiceProcessInstaller ? It should be LocalSystem so it would run regardless who logged in .

i still get the 1053 error after chaning the account to local system.

I don't know what's wrong but all the steps are really easy .
First , if you made any changes , stop the service and uninstall it . Then , reinstall it to test it out . Did you really do that ?

Try this service demo I've created . It works fine . See what things are different from yours .
