Could not start service... Error 1053 time stuff

Question

Hi I just create and use the log in the service the other code to start the processes is commented it out and not present here. But after installation of service when I want to start it gives this error I do not see any time consuming stuff here. I used vs 2005 c3 windows service project. public partial class TestService : ServiceBase { private bool loggingEnabled; private string logName; private EventLog log; public enum DataProvider { Oracle SqlServer OleDb Odbc } public TestService() { InitializeComponent(); this.logName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[LogName]; if (ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[LoggingEnabled] == true) this.loggingEnabled = true; else this.loggingEnabled = false; if (this.loggingEnabled) { if (!EventLog.SourceExists(this.ServiceName)) EventLog.CreateEventSource(this.ServiceName this.logName); else { EventLog.Delete(this.ServiceName); EventLog.CreateEventSource(this.ServiceName this.logName); } this.log = new EventLog(); this.log.Log = this.logName; this.log.Source = this.ServiceName; } } private void Log(string message EventLogEntryType type) { if (this.loggingEnabled) this.log.WriteEntry(message type); } private void Log(string message) { this.Log(message EventLogEntryType.Information); } private void Log(Exception e) { this.Log(e.Message + 
 + e.StackTrace EventLogEntryType.Error); } protected override void OnStart(string[] args) { this.Log(this.ServiceName +  Started at:  + DateTime.Now); } protected override void OnStop() { this.Log(this.ServiceName +  Stopped at:  + DateTime.Now); } } Thanks! PS: do not see the event folder created in event Viewer and not in registry also.

From Microsoft KB: ============== SYMPTOMS loadTOCNode(1 'symptoms'); When you stop or pause a managed Microsoft Windows service and the process of stopping or pausing the service takes more time than the default configured time you receive the following error message: Could not stop the Windows service name service on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. Note Windows service name is a placeholder for the name of the Windows service that you have created. CAUSE loadTOCNode(1 'cause'); The ServiceBase class calls the OnStop method directly from the Service command handler that is defined in the ScDispatcherLoop of the Advapi32.dll file. After 30 seconds if the ScDispatcherLoop thread is not ready to receive a new service command from the service control manager Windows Service Controller marks the service as time out. Therefore you receive this error message. RESOLUTION loadTOCNode(1 'resolution'); To resolve this problem obtain the latest service pack for the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. For additional information click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 885055 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885055/) How to obtain Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 STATUS loadTOCNode(1 'status'); Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the Applies to section. This problem was first corrected in Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1. MORE INFORMATION loadTOCNode(1 'moreinformation'); Steps to reproduce the behavior loadTOCNode(2 'moreinformation'); 1. Create a Windows Service project. To do this follow these steps: a. Use Microsoft Visual Basic .NET to create a Windows Service project. Name the Windows service SampleWS. b. In the Properties window of SampleWS set the CanPauseAndContinue property the CanShutDown property and the CanStop property to True . c. Set the ServiceName property to SampleWS . d. In the code view of the Service1.vb file add the following code at the beginning of the file to import the System.Threading namespace into the project. Imports System.Threading e. Add an OnPause method to the Service1.vb file. f. Add the following code to the OnStop method and to the OnPause method. Thread.Sleep(40000) g. Add the ServiceProcessInstaller1 installer and the ServiceInstaller1 installer to your SampleWS project. h. In the Properties window of the ServiceProcessInstaller1 installer set the Account property of the ServiceProcessInstaller1 installer to LocalSystem . i. In the Properties window of the ServiceInstaller1 installer set the StartType property to Automatic . j. Build the SampleWS application. 2. Create a Setup project and then add the output of the SampleWS application to the Setup project. 3. Build the SampleWS solution. 4. Locate the Setup1.msi file. This file is located in the Setup1 project folder that was created in step 2. 5. Double-click the Setup1.msi file to install the SampleWS Windows service. 6. Click Start  click Run  type services.msc in the Open box and then click OK . The Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in opens. 7. In the right pane locate the SampleWS service and then start the service. 8. Stop or pause the SampleWS service. You notice the problem that is mentioned in the “Symptoms” section.
