Cannot Start Service From The Command Line Or A Debugger Scp
line or debugger up vote 9 down vote favorite 2 I've created a windows service and installed it on a server. It appears to work fine ie doing what its meant to do. But when I log on to the server through remote desktop I get this message: Cannot start service from the command line or debugger. A windows Service must first be installed(using installutil.exe) and cannot start service from the command line or a debugger c# then started with the ServerExplorer, Windows Services Administrative tool or the NET START command. I click on and then go to the services explorer to check the service, its started ok. No errors reported. I've installed this so it uses Local System as "Log On As". Thanks. c# windows service share|improve this question edited Feb 3 '14 at 6:13 Amol M Kulkarni 7,6141269130 asked Dec 21 '12 at 9:55 Boomerang 2431412 are you sure that exactly that service throw error message? –Arsen Mkrtchyan Dec 21 '12 at 9:59 The message only started to appear once I installed my windows and the service reads XML files and needs to run continuously. I will look at this after Christmas as that's when I'm back in work. Just seems strange that it occurs since I installed my service.

EG: C:\installutil -i c:\path\to\project\debug\service.exe Then you can open up the list of Services to start it. EG: Right click 'My Computer' Click on 'Manage' Open up 'Services and Applications' Click on 'Services' Find your service in the list and right-click on it Click on 'Start' Once it has started, you can go into Visual Studio, click on 'Debug', then click on 'Attach to Process'. Another technique is to add this line to your OnStart() method in the service: System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch(); When you do that, it'll prompt you to pick an instance of Visual Studio to debug the service in. share|improve this answer answered Mar 1 '11 at 16:23 C.

Like following cmd, Using net stop [service name] to stop it and net start [service name] to start it up again basically restarting the service. If so, you should make sure you have done the thing correctly. If tha'tnot what you want, please be more specific aboutwhat you are trying to doand feel free to cannot start service let me know. Firstly you should make sure your service code is working fine. Secondly, if you are win7 or win8 os, On the Windows Start menu or Start screen, choose Visual Studio, Visual Studio Tools, Developer Command Prompt.A Visual Studio command prompt appears.Run InstallUtil.exe from the command prompt with your project's output as a parameter: installutil /u
December 6, 2014 by CodeCaster - 7871 views When you want a process to run continuously, even when no user is logged in to a machine and when you want that process to start running as soon as Windows does, you may want to create a Windows Service. Using .NET's System.ServiceProcess namespace you can easily write code that allows your program to act as a Windows Service. The namespace also includes classes that let you manage services, such as starting, stopping and installing them. Creating a basic Windows Service When using the Visual Studio template for a "Windows Service Application", a project will be created that shows the basic skeleton. This is easily recreated: Create a new Console Application. Add a reference to System.ServiceProcess. Write the following code: public static class Program { public static void Main(string[] args) { ServiceBase.Run(new SimpleService()); } } public class SimpleService : ServiceBase { public SimpleService() { ServiceName = "SimpleService"; } protected override void OnStart(string[] args) { // Start your service! } } However, if you now hit F5, you'll get an error saying "Cannot start service from the command line or a debugger. A Windows Service must first be installed […].": Attaching the debugger The MSDN way to debug a service is pretty convoluted: you'll have to install the service, start it and attach Visual Studio's debugger to the service process. And then when you spot an issue and fix it, you'll have to perform the mentioned steps again. Environment.UserInteractive You can easily detect whether the current process is running "user-interactive" as defined on MSDN testing Environment.UserInteractive, adapted from Stack Overflow: public static class Program { public static void Main(string[] args) { // Instantiate the service. var myService = new MyService(); // User Interactive? Debug! if (Environment.UserInteractive) { myService.Start(); } else { // Otherwise, run as Windows Service. ServiceBase.Run(myService); } } public class MyService : ServiceBase { public void Start() { // Do the actual starting. } ///
