C# 2005 Windows Service says is starting, but EventLog.WriteEntry() doesn't show

I have written Windows Services before, both in 2005 and in 2003, but I can't see what I'm missing.

I have a thin Windows Service that does little more than load an XML file for config options and then an external assembly which I've independantly tested.

After creating the new project with a Windows Service, and adding a timer and and installer, I have had so much difficulty figuring out what is not working that I have commented out everything but the OnStart and OnStop commands to EventLog.WriteEntry a message, essentially saying "I'm here".  But every time I reinstall my Service and start it up in the Services app, it immediately stops, and I do not get my custom EventLog entries.  I just get the default "The MultiFTP service was successfully sent a start control." messages.

Where do I need to go from here?

UPDATE:

As usual, I finally managed to get the basics to work.  Somehow though I added both the serviceInstaller and the serviceProcessIntaller, only one was shown as being added to the Installers.AddRange() method.  I do not know if this fixed my problem, because it didn't work at first, but when I cleared my events in the events viewer, suddenly it started to work for me.

I don't know why.

But now I have a different problem.  I am using a System.Windows.Forms.Timer control which supposedly fires off an event to an event handler.  But though I have a delegate method assigned to that event handler, when I attach to the process and put a breakpoint on that method, it never fires.  

I need help....

Here's the code.

using System;

namespace ServiceMultiFTP

    partial class ServiceMultiFTP

        /// Required designer variable.
        /// </summary>

        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>
        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            if (disposing && (components != null))
            {
                components.Dispose();
            }
            base.Dispose(disposing);
        }

        private void LoadConfig()
        {
            try
            {
                //Config.xml contains various configration options for the service.
                System.Xml.XmlDocument config = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();

                //Config.xml must be set as "Copy to output directory" in properties.
                config.Load(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "Config.xml");

                this.timerMultiFTP.Interval = Convert.ToInt32(config.SelectSingleNode("//Config/Timer/IntervalInMinutes").InnerText) * 1000 * 60;

                this.EventLog.WriteEntry("Loaded Config.xml.  Interval set to " + this.timerMultiFTP.Interval.ToString() + " milliseconds.");
            }
            catch (Exception FileMissing)
            {
                this.timerMultiFTP.Interval = 1000;//600000;
                this.EventLog.WriteEntry("Missing config file Config.xml.  Interval set to " + this.timerMultiFTP.Interval.ToString() + " milliseconds.");
            }
        }

        #region Component Designer generated code

        /// <summary>
        /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
        /// the contents of this method with the code editor.
        /// </summary>
        private void InitializeComponent()
        {
            this.components = new System.ComponentModel.Container();
            this.timerMultiFTP = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer(this.components);

            this.CanPauseAndContinue = true;
            this.ServiceName = "ServiceMultiFTP";

        }

        #endregion

            timerMultiFTP.Start();

        private void timerMultiFTP_Disposed(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.EventLog.WriteEntry("timerMultiFTP disposed.");

}


Now that the installers are correctly starting and stopping the service, I'll assume that the installer code is not necessary.
