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

As the error popup suggests this is related to permission. So run the service as "LocalSystem" account.

To do the same, Right Click on serviceProcessInstaller -> Properties -> Account and set it to "LocalSystem" instead of the default "User". Install the service and voila.
