I built a VB.Net assembly that runs as a Windows service. I added an install wizard too.<br />
<br />
After I build the assembly, I can install it on another machine and use installutil.exe to install the windows service, but when I go to the services list and try to start the service manually, I get the following error: <br />
<br />
Could not start the &lt;service name here&gt; service on Local Computer.<br />
Errror 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.<br />
<br />
Need help! Thanks!<br />
