ServiceBase[] servicesToRun; servicesToRun = new ServiceBase[] { new Service1(), new Service2() }; ServiceBase.Run(servicesToRun); How will this work? Will Service1 be run, and when its OnStart() is done, Service2's OnStart() will be run, or both of them will run at the same time? If that's the case, and I explicitly want Service1's OnStart to be done before running Service2.OnStart() , how would I go? Would this do the trick: ServiceBase.Run(new Service1()) ServiceBase.Run(new Service2()) You are misunderstanding what ServiceBase.Run() actually does. From the documentation : Registers the

I'm running a Windows service which starts a simple bat-file during start up, but the service won't start. If I try run it manually from the service GUI I get following error message. Error 1053: the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion This seems to be a common error during service startup, however I didn't find similar problem in the other answers. I created the service from command line with following command C:\Users\Administrator>sc create service_name binpath= c:\service.bat start= auto [SC] CreateService SUCCESS Then I run it with C:\Users

I want to check programmatically that the latest version of my Windows Service is installed. I have: var ctl = ServiceController.GetServices().Where(s => s.ServiceName == "MyService").FirstOrDefault(); if (ctl != null) { // now what? } I don't see anything on the ServiceController interface that will tell me the version number. How do I do it? I am afraid there is no way other than getting the executable path from the registry as ServiceController does not provide that information. Here is a sample I had created before: private static string GetExecutablePathForService(string serviceName,

I am having a problem installing a Windows service. I installed and uninstalled the service numerous times (installutil..... installutil /u) without any problem but something went wrong and now when I attempt to install, I get the error message listed below. I checked the computer management console, and service CIMediator does not appear on the list of services. How do I remove the service? System.ArgumentException: Source CIMediator already exists on the local computer. Just solved the same problem, also after a numerous uninstalls/installs/restarts. I have my own implementation of service

I have created a WCF service using the NetMsmq binding for which i created a private queue on my machine and executed the project. This works fine as such and my WCF service is started and accesses the message using the queue in the debugging environment. Now, I wanted to host the service using the windows service and for the same I created a new project and windows installer as well (This service runs under Local System Account). Then I tried installing this windows service using the InstallUtil command through the command prompt. When installation is happening and during the service host

I have a .Net (v4.0) Windows Service Application that spins of a tpl task at the beginning that performs certain, long running activities and basically stays alive for the application's life time and as such is created with the TaskCreationOptions. LongRunning parameter value. Whenever the service is stopped and the .OnStop() method is called, I .Cancel() the CancellationToken(Source) I handed over to the worker task when I created it and I want it's .OnlyOnCanceled(...) continuation task to run. The thing is, the service/process shuts down without that continuation task to run through
