window service does not start

[PhatTim]

Hi everyone, I have one service that is dependent on rasman.exe (Remote
Access Connection Manager). Rasman, in turn, is dependent on the
Microsoft Telephony service. Rasman is currently configured as "manual"
and when the computer reboots is set to "starting" because the
telephony service is firing it up. My service, however, does not start
regardless of whether I set it to automatic or manual mode. Is there
some configuration I'm missing? We're using a w3k box. Thanks.

you will need to determine if your service is getting invoked. if it is, you
need to find out if it is throwing exceptions or dying. Place some code in
the onrun and onstart methods to see if it is making it this far
