run a .net 2.0 exe as a service
I have a console application I wrote with .net 2.0 and have a Windows service call this .exe. When I try to start the service it comes back with an error telling me it could not start the service in a timly manner. However, the .exe still runs and works. Would can I add to my console application so windows can see the service start?

What does your OnStart method look like in your service code?

This .exe is not really written as a service. I used SRVANY.EXE
to created the service and have it point to my console application. I just wanted to test it running under the system id. In the future it will be triggered by SCOM agent that does run as a service. I guess I might not even see this when SCOM runs it.

Ah. I know that when you write a windows service from scratch, usually when you receive that particular error it is because you are doing some long-running logic in the service initialization section. This section has to return to the OS in a particular amount of time--roughly 15 seconds. If it does not return in a timely fashion, then the OS complains with the error you mention.
Unfortunately, I am not familiar enough with srvany.exe, although I do understand what it is supposed to do. I wouldn't expect what I described here to be the case if you are using that utility. Please hold out for someone more versed with that particular utility to answer = )
