[Alexei Kubarev]

both of them are right addresses actually... :S
hmmz... io never recieved it on hotmails email...

and i wish a bit more help that i really am im not really good with services.. so its quite hard for me to see whats wrong...
Just trying to be a Windows (works quite fine after 1 liter of wine actually) and see what really is wrong there...

I will take a look at your code and try to figure out whats wrong..

A sip of wine?

That's a good idea!

Doesn't solve problems but makes them look smaller

[Alexei Kubarev]

After a liter you just stop noticing them
Actually im having a problem with even installing your service :S

I just cant find the freaking installutil... it simply doesnt exist on my PC :S

If you dont really mind i think i have to stop for today with C# and programming in general...

I have a date tomorrow and im kinda dizzy right now...

do NOT do this at home kids : Programming and drinking wine
The result will be Chernobyl or a new Sasser worm..

I might not even make sence right now.. but tomorrow i will take a look at your project and try to help...

Ich spreche kine deutch, aber:
"Auf Wiedersehen, Mikey"

Talk to you later tomorrow i think..

[Mikey]

"Danke und Schlafe gut"

Thanks for today and good night!

I was having the same problem and searching for solution I found your mails....in the end I solved on my own by changing from local system to administrator of the domain the account used in the property page of the service......can thi be of any help?

Today i'm also looking for a sample.vbs file that enable me to obtain the size of specific file trhou the network....I can easily do it with a very simple objFSO.GetFile command but it works only on local file or on mapped network drive, what I would like to do is use the network name: \\computer_name\c:\file_name......got nothing?

Your solution works very well.

I had the same problem with starting a basic windows service I created in vb.net. This is what worked for me. The folder where the executable resided security was setup inproperly. When I checked the properties page for the folder and went to the security tab and clicked on everyone. Everyone only had list folders rights when I changed this to full control, I was able to run the service as a localsystem.

Add these lines to your projectinstaller class in the InitializeComponent method:

this.serviceProcessInstaller1.Account = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceAccount.LocalSystem;

this.serviceProcessInstaller1.Password = null;
this.serviceProcessInstaller1.Username = null;

This will allow your service to run under the local account.
