Hi, I have build an windows service in vb.net and installed it successfully.

But when I start the service, I get the error:

error 1053, the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion

I can't see any useful information from net (and the msdn as well, which talks about upgrading the service pack...)

Please advise.

Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

Even this information I got from net.
When attempting to tart a service, you may receive above error. The resolutions are 1) Depending on your system setup, you may try to run the service under Local System or the administrator account. 2) make sure dependencies is running. 3) Make sure the related files have correct permission. For example, if you can't start the Task Schedule service, you may need to check the if the %SystemRoot%\Schedlgu.txt file has the Read-Only attribute. If yes, you may want to assign write permission.


try this and let us know.

Thanks,

Mahesh
