I am trying to create a Windows Service, but when I try and install it, it rolls back giving me this error:
System.Security.SecurityException: The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible logs: Security.
I don't know what this means - my application has the bare minimum since I am just testing things out first.
My Installer Code:
namespace WindowsService1
{
[RunInstaller(true)]
public partial class ProjectInstaller : System.Configuration.Install.Installer
{
public ProjectInstaller()
{
//set the privileges
processInstaller.Account = ServiceAccount.LocalSystem;
processInstaller.Username = null;
processInstaller.Password = null;
serviceInstaller.DisplayName = "My Service";
serviceInstaller.StartType = ServiceStartMode.Manual;
//must be the same as what was set in Program's constructor
serviceInstaller.ServiceName = "My Service";
this.Installers.Add(processInstaller);
this.Installers.Add(serviceInstaller);
}
private void serviceProcessInstaller1_AfterInstall(object sender, InstallEventArgs e)
{
}
private void serviceInstaller1_AfterInstall(object sender, InstallEventArgs e)
{
}
}
}
My Service Code:
public partial class Service1 : ServiceBase
{
public Service1()
{
this.ServiceName = "My Service";
}
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
base.OnStart(args);
}
protected override void OnStop()
{
base.OnStop();
}
}
