启动服务时，Windows服务项目在1053错误时失败

Question

I would like to create a Windows Service application with Visual Studio. When launching the service I get this error:

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

So I removed my code and still run into this error. Maybe I missed some settings so this is my project to reproduce:

• First create the Windows Service App (C#) with Visual Studio

• Set the architecture to x86.

• Set the output path to another directory, mine is C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Kofax\\CaptureSS\\ServLib\\Bin .

• Add the required dlls to the project, for example PDFSharp

• Update Program.cs for debug mode ( RuntimeService is my service file)

   private static void Main() { #if DEBUG new RuntimeService().RunDebugMode(); Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromDays(1)); #else ServiceBase.Run(new RuntimeService()); #endif } 

• My RuntimeService.cs contains this code

   public RuntimeService() { InitializeComponent(); } public void RunDebugMode() { OnStart(null); } protected override void OnStart(string[] args) { // nothing in here } protected override void OnStop() { } 

• add an installer file to the service file.

• set the account to local service

• set the starttype to automatic

• build the project once, my project files got deployed to C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Kofax\\CaptureSS\\ServLib\\Bin

• create a .bat file in that directory and use this content

  "C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\installutil.exe" "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Kofax\\CaptureSS\\ServLib\\Bin\\DemoService.exe" pause

• restart your machine (I did this ...)

• head over to the Windows services panel and search for your service. Mine is set to automatic. Launch the service.

  When launching it, I get the error mentioned above. So did I miss something?

If relevant, I use a Virtual Machine with Windows 10.

I fixed the problem by switching from debug mode to release mode. The answer comes from here
