Windows Service will not run on Windows 2003 Server

Hi,

I have developed a Windows Service that installs and runs fine on my XP (Pro) machine.

When I install and try to run it on a Windows 2003 Server machine, it installs but does not run . Here is the eventlog entry:

EventType clr20r3, P1 MyService.exe, P2 1.0.0.0, P3 452baa7e, P4 system.windows.forms, P5 2.0.0.0, P6 4333aefa, P7 3d21, P8 ee, P9 system.invalidoperationexception, P10 NIL.

May I also add that there are no references to System.Windows.Forms in my service.

Any help is much appreciated.

  • pierreg

    Does your service reference a component assembly installed on the XP box but not on the server

    Thanks, that was the problem exactly.

    You might still be referencing System.Windows.Forms indirectly. For instance, Microsoft.VisualBasic does reference System.Windows.Forms (for Interaction.MsgBox, among others, I guess).
