Start Application with service

i want to run an application made in c# winform through service.i have done the code but the application does not get started even service successfully gets started and no exception is thrown.

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
        {
            eventLog1.WriteEntry("starting Kb");
            try
            {
                Process myProcess = new Process();
                myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Invisual E. Inc\KeyboardSetup\keyboard.exe";//Exe Path 
                myProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
                myProcess.EnableRaisingEvents = true;

                myProcess.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;


                myProcess.Start();
                ProcessWindowStyle ws = myProcess.StartInfo.WindowStyle;
                if (ws == ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden)
                    myProcess.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;

                eventLog1.WriteEntry("started");

            }
            catch (Exception c)
            {
                eventLog1.WriteEntry(c.Message);
            }
        }

Log file does not show any exceptions.

Purpose is t开发者_运维知识库o start the application at the welcome screen of window so that user can use custom made keyboard .

What operating system? From Vista and beyond you cannot create GUI from services (it's a security flaw and ugly...) There is a user 0 session that shows gui started by services from vista onwards.

Why not create a registry entry and/or startup entry for your app to start when the user who installed your app logs in? Or follow the info here about implementing an interactive service.

A service normally runs under a user other than the logged in user therefore the service doesn't have a desktop available to display any windows form, hence the reason t isn't being displayed.

I think you will need to find another way as although a winforms app can start a service I dont believe it can be done the other way around.
