Starting a windows service fails with error 1053
问题 I have a windows service that is failing to start, giving an error "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion". Running the service in my debugger works fine, and if I double click on the the service .exe on the remote machine a console window pops up and continues to run without problem - I can even see log messages showing me that the program is processing everything the way it should be. The service had been running fine previously, though
