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 had this issue today on a service that I was developing, and none of the other suggestions on this question worked. In my case, I had a missing .dll dependency in the folder where the service ran from.

When I added the dependencies, the issue went away.
