Windows Service Start Problems
July 10, 2008 05:33PM
I must be doing something wrong here but I have created a windows service with the following methods in the global procedure:

InitService
Service
EndService

I have WDSERVICE.EXE and WDSERVICE.INI in the directory. My ini settings are:

[SERVICE]
NAME=JambaDolphinCheck
WDP=DolphinFolderCheckingService.WDP
WDL=DFCS_Library.WDL
CAPTION=Jamba Dolphin Check
DESCRIPTION=Checks for new Dolphin Folders and adds them to the processing table
FREQUENCE=60000
INTERACT=1
AUTOSTART=1

When I do a WDSERVICE -install and then start the service it fails after some time.

If I do a WDSERVICE -debug it tells me in the end in french it has failed.

I have a test for the Service method which works fine.

Any ideas would be appreciated as I am lost on what to try.

Thanks

Why is it after I post a message for help I figure out the problem.

It was just that I had not copied the framework DLL's into the install directory. I didn't realise they were needed.

All working great now!

That's why you should ask those questions more often and sooner...
and not only you do learn from it, all readers do !
