.Net Framework >> .NET Windows Service

by Peter Milne » Mon, 19 Jul 2004 00:25:15 GMT

Hi,

I'm new to the windows service area. I have built a few of the examples of a
windows service (in C#) that are available on the net. Everything goes to
plan and they each install successfully with the Installutil.exe prog. My
trouble starts when I attempt to start the service, i get the message:

The AdderxService service failed to start due to the following error:

AdderxService is not a valid Win32 application.


All my other .NET apps work great.

Any help would be great

Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
We have successfully written and deployed widows services in C# as well as unmanaged code (for loading wks or svr flavor of CLR) and to host remoting service. Never had a problem like this one. OS- XP, W2k3.

Can you provide few more details about what exactly you are trying to do...

Hi,

I have built a couple of Windows Service Application in Visual Studio and
can deploy them successfully with the installutil command line utility.
When I add a setup project and try to run the resultant msi the install runs
without issue and completes successfully but the windows service does not
show up in the services applet.



Any ideas?



Thanks,



LP

Hi Larry,

Just camping, because I have pretty much the same issue. I use
installutil successfully. (You would think that the msi would take
care of this.) Additionally, my service will start, but stops
immediately without doing what it's designed to do.

Back to the drawing board....

Not sure how did you run your service.
One possiblity is that you didn't register the typelib of your vb6 
component.
