    text
    copied!<p>He folks, I'm struggeling with starting a service from another application.</p> <p>Ok, first, thats my starting point: I got a usual service wrapped into my own class which inherits from ServiceBase. Furthermore I got a ProjectInstaller instance, which inherits from System.Configuration.Install.Installer and takes care of installing my service on the system in the right way. </p> <p>it's got these parameters:</p> <pre><code>serviceInstaller1.ServiceName = "NameOfService"; serviceInstaller1.StartType = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceStartMode.Manual; serviceProcessInstaller1.Account = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceAccount.LocalService; </code></pre> <p>This ProjectInstaller output is installed through a usual C# .NET installation project.</p> <p>The service is shown in the GUI list of services within system control -> administration -> services. But what I'm wondering about is that the service does not appear in the list of services, if I use the cmd.exe and type "net start". </p> <p>That's waht I have so far. Now I want to start my service from another application. This application inherits from </p> <pre><code>ServiceController </code></pre> <p>If I want to call now the </p> <pre><code>Start() </code></pre> <p>method, I get an error telling me that the service could not be opened of the local machine.</p> <p>I use the same Service Name as stated above. T'm confused about that, because I thought the service is installed correctly through my installer. Or does my application (and the cmd.exe too) does not have enough rights to access the service?</p> <p>If anybody has an idea, feel free to tell me :) Thanks in advance!</p>
