错误：启动 Windows 服务时出现“[SC] StartService FAILED 1053”

Question

I created a worker service in vs2019, but met error "[SC] StartService FAILED 1053".

Let me first talk about how I did it.

1, Create a worker service project

2, Publish the project

3, Run cmd.exe as Administrator

4, Create windows service "testworker" and start it

sc Create testworker BinPath="c:\Users\zxi.BS\source\repos\WorkerService1\WorkerService1\bin\Release\net5.0\publish\WorkerService1.exe"
sc start testworker

Then i met this error. The exe runs well if i run it directly.

Why did i get this error:

[SC] StartService FAILED 1053:

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

Answer 1

Error 1053 is raised because the application you have created is not a true Windows Service. It's not sufficient to extend the BackgroundService class to create a service — work with ServiceBase instead.

This tutorial outlines the approach to take.

Answer 2

I'm currently running into this issue. But I'm sure in your case, what you are missing is the Nuget package Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.WindowsServices . You must then add UseWindowsService() to your HostBuilder :

public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args)
            => Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args).UseWindowsService().ConfigureServices((hostContext, services)
                => { services.AddHostedService<Worker>(); });
