Sorry, but all controls under the debug tab appears disabled. The first option &quot;Wait component creation&quot; is checked (but disabled also).<br />
<br />
I tried to put the breakpoint on the start service code, but it doesn't stops, because he calls another process (well, the same .exe program but with other parameters).

What I am doing for debugging the service is, Copy the source code into a GUI application and Start Service Code will be changed to a button click event. I hope you got what I mean.

I have a problem in a Windows Service I created: when I call the StartService API function, it appears the typical Windows message saying the application crashed.<br />
<br />
So I imagine I have a problem in the code that implements the service, but I don't know how can I debug. I created a log system (writing to a file) but the code inside the service doesn't write anything inside.<br />
<br />
Could you show me any ideas to know how to debug this part of code ?<br />
<br />
Many thanks.

How to debug a service in VB6

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Software

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

Visual Basic Classic

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
