ServiceBase service error 193:0xc1 on Windows XP

Question

I have a service that I\'ve built using the C# ServiceBase class. It works when I run it in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008; however, it doesn\'t work on Windows XP.

Answer 1

I found this after googling the windows service error number: *Generally the error message means that the service manager couldn't find the exact .exe path to run the service. Sometimes, the service is installed from a directory with multiple words for the directory name. So the registry path to the service needs to be placed with double quotes.

Click ‘Start’ and type ‘services.msc’ and hit Enter Check for the multimedia class scheduler and audio endpoint builder service. Check for the path under "path to executable:" for both the services. Make a note of the same. Also make a note of the service name for both the services. The services are as follows:

AudioEndpointBuilder - AudioEndpointBuilder Multimedia Class Scheduler - MMCSS

Now, let’s check if the paths under these two services are the same as well in the registry. Click ‘Start’, type regedit and hit Enter Locate the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ Under services, check for these services: MMCSS and AudioEndpointBuilder. Corresponding to the above two services, the Image path (on the right pane) should be same as the path in ‘services.msc’*
