i wrote a Windows Service program (myService) for testing. OnStart: just
create a new file in my directory.

Everything seems fine. But when i open the Services Panel, try to start the
myService, it pops up the following message:

"The myService service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some
services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the
Performance Logs and Alerts service."

And the file failed to create.

Any idea?

Thanks.
 
Have you tried attaching a debugger to the service and steped through the
execution?

You're not in the directory that you think you're in.

The service is starting up with a current directory that's in the Windows
SystemRoot (I think it's %SystemRoot%\System32). The file is probably being
created and then the service exits.
 
Hi C#User,

Does the community's reply make sense to you?

Please feel free to feedback, thanks

It is due to an error within your Windows Service class. Check the Event
Log and you will know the error. Correct the exception and your Windows
Service will run properly.
