Thursday, January 21, 2010 11:20 AM Reply | Quote 25 Sign in to vote I met the exact problem yesterday, and tried the 3 options as you mentioned, but the problem remained. However, with the help of procmon, it turned out that the issue was caused by an incorrect registry entry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Parameters\ServiceDll Event Log service by default will look at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\ServiceDll for the service dll to start the service, however, when "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Parameters" presents, it will look for ServiceDll underneath the "Parameters" sub key. And in my case, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Parameters\ServiceDll was referring to an empty string, so Event log service cannot find the service dll file to start the service.

A new one I had recently written was very similar to the others and while it installed without error - on starting it with the service controller it failed to start with the error dialog: System error 2 ... system cannot find the file specified. After time and consternation, the only thing I could think of that was significantly different about this service was that the path and executable name http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19799669/new-windows-service-installed-fails-to-start-system-error-2-system-cannot were at least 10 characters longer than any of my other services. On shortening both the path and .exe name and re-installing, the service ran fine: no error! I can only assume my previous path or service or .exe name was too long. Also, It would be pertinent to mention I had used some borrowed "service driver" code built in to my exe to handle the install/uninstall of the service to the service controller via win API calls. It could be a character limit was hidden within that service driver module. I could not find any windows related docs to confirm if there is a system bound character limit to a path or service name that I had exceeded. I will dig in to the service driver when time permits and see if that turns out to be the problem. Meanwhile I welcome any insights. windows windows-services servicecontroller share|improve this question asked Nov 5 '13 at 21:46 Ho Ho Ho 206129 What was the total length of path before you shortened it. Also did your path have any unusual characters? If you could also provide the initial path used that would also assist anyone trying to answer your query –Chelseawillrecover Nov 6 '13 at 6:03 The working service now has an executable name length of 17.

That will likely clue you into which files are not available.
