How to debug the .NET Windows Service OnStart method?

Question

I have code written in .NET that only fails when installed as a Windows service. The failure doesn\'t allow the service to even start. I can\'t figure out how I can step int

Answer 1

The options above did not appear to work on Windows 8.

I have added Thread.Sleep(15000); into my OnStart() method and set a breakpoint on the next line of the code. This give me 15 seconds to attach VS debugger to my process after starting the service and allowed me to debug the OnStart() method nicely.
