I've got a windows service that I've built fairly stock-standard, it also has its own installer, and I've built a separate install project...
The installer works well enough, and the service appears in the list of services - however when you issue a start it eventually dumps with a message stating that the server did not respond in a timely fashion. If I then look in the list of processes, my service is there, I can attach to it in the VS.Net debugger and I can see that it's working away (it's a server with a number of worker threads it spawns for doing the actual work...). Now at first I figured perhaps the code is never returning from the OnStart(...) method - so I commented out all start/stop etc. code in the service class, basically leaving it at the same state as it was when the project was created - however I still have the same problem of the service start request timing out.... What could be causing this and can anyone suggest how I could fix it?
