I have 2 other services are identical in configuration in just about every way that start fine, but one of them refuses to start and I really need to get it to work today. I can't see any difference in their implementation or config files. I'm receiving the following messages when attempting to sta开发者_开发百科rt the service after installing it with InstallUtil:

The service is not responding to the control function

more help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2186

NET HELPMSG 2186:

Explanation: The service cannot run your command at this time

If anyone has any thoughts and/or suggestions, they're GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks very much in advance!

Start by checking for any system/application events using EventVwr. The service could be crashing on startup or failing because of permissions for that particular service.

Try uninstalling and re-installing the service, with a reboot in between.

Finally, do you have the MS Application verifier installed? If so, try to uninstall and reinstall it.
