Does the thread actually not run, or does it run, but lack the right to write files, raise an exception that you have no way of detecting, and exit?
If you install the service as an administrative user who has the "Log on as a service" right (in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment), rather than as the "LocalSystem" user, does the program then work as expected?
