Windows Service problem

[adasilva]

Hello,

I developed a windows service that has a reference to a WebService.

The service uses the local system account and its set to start automatically.

unfortunally it does not start automatically and I got two error messages in the Event Viewer: (Event ID 7000 Service <MyService> did not start in timely fashion and EventID 7009 Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the <MyService> service to connect.)

I have installed the framework 1.1 SP1 as recomended by Microsoft but it has made no diference.

 

the following is the code on the Onstart event

 

Dim start As ThreadStart = New ThreadStart(AddressOf ServiceTimer_Tick)

mWorker = New Thread(start)

mWorker.Start()

timer.AutoReset = True

timer.Enabled = True

timer.Start()

Note; I have no problem starting it manually.

does anyone have experienced this problem before?

Regards,

adasilva.
