Error 5 : Access Denied when starting windows service

Question

I\'m getting this error when I try to start a windows service I\'ve created in C#:

My Code

Answer 1

I was getting this error because I misread the accepted answer from here: Create Windows service from executable.

sc.exe create  binPath= ""

For , I was using the path of the executable's folder, e.g. C:\Folder.

It needs to be the path of the executable, e.g. C:\Folder\Executable.exe.
