You develop a windows service application and installed to your machine. When you try to start service you get this error.
Possible reason to this error is service name definitions.
Check the service name and service installer service name. Both must be the same. For instance this is from service class:
private void InitializeComponent()
{
components = new System.ComponentModel.Container();
this.ServiceName = "DataExporter";
}
and this code is from service installer settings:
//
// serviceInstallerDataExporter
//
this.serviceInstallerDataExporter.Description = "Exports Data for SPSS as CSV file";
this.serviceInstallerDataExporter.DisplayName = "x Data Exporter";
this.serviceInstallerDataExporter.ServiceName = "x Data Exporter";
this.serviceInstallerDataExporter.StartType = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceStartMode.Automatic;
P.S.: If you have multiple service instances you must be more careful
Happy coding…
