I m trying to run my windows service but it is giving error 1053: "timed out"
The error 1053 should pop up in case the start up method fails to respond in 30 seconds but in this case the OnStart method is not even reached. I tried debugging it but it is not helping as i don't even reach the actual code and the error message pops up before that. Can any one help in this case?
I had a similar issue when I was trying to install a service at remote desktop and erring
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion
I was able to fix this issue by installing the targeted dotnet framework
(sometime remote servers on lower framework and we build the service using latest framework).
So my finding is that in these cases you need to check few things:
install proper dependencies
all dlls are with targeted framework
Main static method present in servivce.cs
I'm new to Windows Services development and Faced Same Issue
I tried everything that was given in this link this link and
in this link but still I was not able to fix issue!
Then I tried some other small things on my own and I found 2 things in my solution
Startup Object Not Set in solution properties
for this, right click -> windowsServiceProject -> click properties -> in there will be left menu in it click on ->Application ->Check "Startup Object" -> If its "empty" ? then click and select project/Service Name.Program (in my case the main method is in program.cs so..)
and if it's selected and is ok then... there can be an error in your code see point number 2
Error In Our Service Code
For this try to simply run the project with Pressing "Start".
If there are any exception or error Like: null pointer or, there were some wrong or missing path or anything that generates exception on running because of developer's mistake then it will show a thrown error and you will able to solve it EG:enter image description here
or if the code is ok then it will show like this:
a dialog box "Windows Service can not be debugged you have to install it
first then and then it will be able to run" (if this dialog shows it's ok normal behaviour if showing any exception then fix that thing and rebuild you will be able to start the service)

I have a Selenium IE 11 test written in C# that runs perfectly when run locally in Debug or Release. this code is deployed to a Win 10 box with Jenkins (NO SLAVES). The Jenkins "Build" is configured to build the code, copy the test.dll to a folder and then call nunit3-console.exe to run the test. the Jenkins Service is also configured with a Domain User Account as a Service Logon Account.
I can logon to the win 10 box as the (Jenkins) domain user, and open a cmd window and run the following with no problem at all
C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\Prod Login>"C:\Program Files
(x86)\NUnit.org\nunit-console\nunit3-console.exe" C:\Prod
Login\Tests\bin\Debug\Tests.dll
but if you try to "Build" the solution via Jenkins Web UI, it has a problem during the Nunit test finding some elements after it does a few clicks and a submit.
I know the IE configuration is rock solid like I said the test runs fine in a command window when logged in as the (Jenkins) Domain account
here is the error I get:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.AssertFailedException :
Assert.Fail failed. ProcessError* By.XPath:
//input[#placeholder='Username'], Following element not found:
By.XPath: //input[#placeholder='Username'], Timed out after 75
seconds;
again I know its not the locator, it works with By.Id or By.Xpath in the command window, AND my Chrome, and Firefox test with the SAME code base just a different WebDriver all work.
I can't help but think it has something to do with the Identity that's being used by Jenkins and or Nunit
any help is greatly appreciated!!!
** UPDATE
I just tried to configure a Jenkins "Slave" with the service account
running as the Jenkins Domain user, no luck still...
I am unable to post just a comment, but I have a debug suggestion. I know what you are saying with "the selector works fine", so I am not suggesting that the selector is wrong in any way. However, I do suggest having the test spew the page source just before the failing command. Driver.PageSource. And post it somewhere you can get to it.
That way, you can identify that the driver definitely sees the elements in the DOM that it has available to it.
This will help eliminate a whole slew of potential problems. There is always the possibility that the driver is simply not seeing the html that these selectors would point to, even though we can see it with our own two eyes.
I have written a few C# apps that I have running via windows task scheduler. They are running successfully (as I can see from the log files that they are writing ) but windows task scheduler shows them returning a last run result of 0xE0434352. Is there something I need to do in my C# application so that it returns a success code to the windows task scheduler?
Another option is to simply use the Application log accessible via the Windows Event Viewer. The .Net error will be recorded to the Application log.
You can see these events here:
Event Viewer (Local) > Windows Logs > Application
When setup a job in new windows you have two fields "program/script" and "Start in(Optional)". Put program name in first and program location in second.
If you will not do that and your program start not in directory with exe, it will not find files that are located in it.
Hans Passant was correct, I added a handler for AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException as described here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.appdomain.unhandledexception(v=vs.71).aspx I was able to find the exception that was occurring and corrected it.
I was referencing a mapped drive and I found that the mapped drives are not always available to the user account that is running the scheduled task so I used \\IPADDRESS instead of MAPDRIVELETTER: and I am up and running.
In case it helps others, I got this error when the service the task was running at didn't have write permission to the executable location. It was attempting to write a log file there.
I had this issue and it was due to the .Net framework version. I had upgraded the build to framework 4.0 but this seemed to affect some comms dlls the application was using. I rolled back to framework 3.5 and it worked fine.
I got the same error but I have fixed it by changing the file reading path from "ConfigFile.xml" to AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.ToString() + "ConfigFile.xml"
In my case, this error due to file path error because task manager starts program from "System32" as initial path but the folder we thought.
I was getting the same message message within dotNet Core 2.2 using MVC 5, however nothing was being logged to the Windows Event Viewer.
I found that I had changed the Project sdk from Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web to Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor (seen within the projects.csproj file). I changed this back and it worked fine :)
In my case it was because I had message boxes. Once I commented that code out, it started working. I remembered that could be a problem when I looked at the event log as suggested in this thread. Thank you everyone!
I encountered this problem when working with COM objects. Under certain circumstances (my fault), I destroyed an external .EXE process, in a parallel thread, a variable tried to access the com interface app.method and a COM-level crash occurred. Task Scheduler noticed this and shut down the app. But if you run the app in the console and don't handle the exception, the app will continue to work ...
Please note that if you use unmanaged code or external objects (AD, Socket, COM ...), you need to monitor them!
Also message box in PowerShell. I converted PowerShell script to exe. When running as admin it's worked but in task schedule I received this error also.
There was an line in PowerShell script with write-output. After commented this line and compile new exe Task Schedule was completed successfully.
It is permission issue in my case the task scheduler has a user which doesn't have permission on the server in which the database is present.
Well, I have created a new windows service and the install from Visual Studio.
When I am done installing, how can I start the service ?
I need something that will allow me to start the process, or an exe.. something?
The Installer is : Visual Studio Installer - Setup Project.
Any help?
My question in order:
Why the service don't start?
How can i control what happen after intall ? Where is the code for it?
Thanks!
even you Set the startup type to Automatic it will not start your service automatically until the machine restart. what you can do is create event handler for AfterInstall event of your service installer class and start the service using ServiceController Start method as below
public serviceInstaller()
{
this.AfterInstall += new InstallEventHandler(serviceInstaller_AfterInstall);
}
void serviceInstaller_AfterInstall(object sender, InstallEventArgs e)
{
ServiceController sc = new ServiceController(serviceInstaller.ServiceName);
sc.Start();
}
you can create event using the visual studio event window as well.
to start your service you can either execute the command:
net start YourServiceName
or go to Control Panel -> Admin tools -> Services and select your service and click start.
full path above depends also on your actual windows version.
even if you did not use any logging, in general service failures are recorded in the Windows Event Log so open Event Viewer and see latest events.
Set the startup type to Automatic in the ServiceInstaller class properties (you can do it in the Designer file).
A windows service needs to be installed ( it should tell you what to do if you try debugging it ), then started in the server manager. Then you can attach to it.
They are a bit of a pain to debug, TBH.
What does the service do? is it opening SQL connections?
looking for a file?
check in your event viewer where the service is installed for errors after you try to start it, it will give us a better understanding.
It is impossible to understand your question unless you take interest in making it understandable.
However from my assumption,
Goto Visual studio Tools => Visual Studio command prompt
use command net start <>
If fails starting the servicce, Check event log (eventvwr.msc in run dialog) to see if there any relevant errors logged.
Your Windows service working in some systems.
If you face some system getting error Windows Service not starting after installing if manually/automatically.
if the service starts and stops like that, it means your code is throwing an unhandled exception. This is pretty difficult to debug, but there are a few options.
Consult the Windows Event Viewer.
Event Viewer - eventvwr.msc
Normally you can get to this by going to the computer/server manager, then clicking Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> Application. You can see what threw the exception here, which may help, but you don't get the stack trace.
Event Viewer Log Image
Add try/catch block in your service start method.
Let you check whether you are using any hot code(For Ex: "D:\"). That drive is not available in installed system.
This will helps a lot!
I am using the Mathematica .Net/Link platform to create a web service to format and calculate math problems. However I am unable to get it working.
I create it using this code:
_Log.IpDebug("Starting the Kernel Link");
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(_MathLinkArguments))
_InternelKernel = MathLinkFactory.CreateKernelLink();
else
_InternelKernel = MathLinkFactory.CreateKernelLink(_MathLinkArguments);
_Log.IpDebug("Kernel Link Started");
_InternelKernel.WaitAndDiscardAnswer();
The value of _MathLinkArguments is -linkmode launch -linkname \"C:\\Program Files\\Wolfram Research\\Mathematica\\7.0\\Math.exe\".
This piece of code is called from the Application_Start method of the global.asax.cs file.
When it gets to the WaitAndDiscardAnswer() call it gives the server error:
Error code: 11. Connected MathLink program has closed the link, but there might still be data underway.
Note: The SampleCode given with the .NET/Link package (both a console app and a WinForms app) works.
Edit:
I copied the console app sample code given with Mathematica into an asp.net page and it gave me the same error the first load and then on subsequent loads it gave me:
Error code: 1. MathLink connection was lost.
Edit2:
I forgot to mention that when I have procmon and task manager open while running my app, I can tell that Math.exe starts but it immediately exits, which makes those error code make complete sense...but doesn't explain why that happened.
To allow the .Net/Link to work in Asp.net (at least in IIS 7.5) you need to enable the property loadUserProfile on the app pool for the web site.
I am not entirely sure why this is the case, but from what I found while trying to debug this, there are some things that are gotten from the user's profile. I know for a fact that the default location of the kernel is, which explains why I couldn't use it with no arguments, and so I can only assume that other things are needed as well and without the profile it couldn't determine that.
But whatever the reason is this is required, it is, or at least it is a fix if you are getting similar problems like this in your own application.
I got the same error in a .Net WinForm application.
mathKernel = new MathKernel();
mathKernel.Compute("<< XYZ`XYZGraphs`");
The error occurred on loading the package straight after instantiating the MathKernel.
To resolve it you can wait a couple of seconds and then instantiating the MathKernel works fine. During this state where there might still be data underway the following conditions are both false:
if (!MathKernel.IsConnected)
{
MathKernel.Connect();
}
if (MathKernel.IsComputing)
{
MathKernel.Abort();
}
Edit:
I've recieved the error again and this time was able to determine the problem.
Using a command line open the MathKernel.exe and view the error message:
I have 2 other services running on a server and they start and stop without a problem, however one of them will not start. I can't see any difference in their implementation or config files. I'm receiving the following messages when attempting to start the service after installing it with InstallUtil:
The service is not responding to the control function
more help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2186
NET HELPMSG 2186:
Explanation: The service cannot run your command at this time
Thanks very much in advance!
This is most likely due to service installed, then uninstalled and now you are trying to install again. Reboot the machine and try again.
UPDATE
According to the event log error, you are trying to run the service as the current logged in user (I guess you are connected using remote desktop). This is not the correct approach, you need to run the service as the LocalSystem. In the project properties window, change the identity of the service.
UPDATE 2
In the design view of the service/component class, click on serviceProcessInstaller1 (or similar) and then in tmhe properties you see a drop down: Account with 4 entries: User/LocalNetwork/LocalService/LocalSystem. Make it LocalSystem
On Start event can you put
try
{
//...
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
EventLog.WriteEntry(ex.Message + ex.StackTrace);
}
and watch whats happening?
or
attach (Tools > Attach To Process) your process to Visual Studio for DEBUG. You can see whats happening with debug, but EventLog works good aswell.
