Installing Windows Service using IDE

You can use setup file AuthorLogServiceSetup.msi to install/uninstall the service AuthorLogService on any computer. Also you can use Visual Studio 2005 IDE to install the service using setup project. I prefer to use IDE to install/uninstall services as it is convenient during implementation and debugging.

To install AuthorLogService using Visual Studio 2005 IDE, right click on the AuthorLogServiceSetup project in the solution explorer and choose Install in the pop-up menu.

Figure 9 – Install and uninstall options through IDE in setup project

It will open the windows installer wizard. Click Next button and specify the installation folder location in the folder location text box. Click Next button. It will show you the confirmation window. Click Next to start the installation. It will show you the installing status and then completion message window. Now the service should be installed in the machine. Let us find and start the service as given in the next section.

Title: Non-blocking timer   
Name: James Collett
Date: 2012-08-05 7:46:13 AM
Comment:
You write: "Each thread will wait for the previous thread to finish by making a FIFO (first in first out) queue."

Perhaps I have misunderstood this, but I do not think each thread does wait for the previous one to finish.

I have inserted a sleep command just after the "firing EventAction" line is written to the file. I have made the sleep period 180 seconds, but the next thread nevertheless writes its line of text to the file after one minute, not waiting the extra 30 seconds.

I should like to ensure that if the current thread takes more than 60 seconds to complete its task, then the next thread is blocked from starting until the first thread finishes. How can I do this, please?

Nice article. I just had one question. what change would I have to make if I wanted the installer to ask the user for the service name that he want the service to be installed with.
Is that even possible?

Awaiting your reply

Was getting very frustrated not getting the timer to fire. Yours was the only example I found that the timer was set up and actually worked.

Debugging - most examples to attach the process, including yours, did not work. I had to add a line of code in OnStart System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch()

Title: problem installing

Comment:
I have a similar (or even the same) problem that has BMW. I can't check if it works on XP or win7 but I can't install in windows vista.

the message error is something like "There was no new mapping between account names and
Security Identifiers"

[I translated it with google so it's not the exact error message. the original message (in spanish) is "no se efectuó ninguna asignación entre los nombres de cuenta y los identificadores de seguridad"]

I hope somebody can help us to find the error.

Just to add some tip to this excellent piece :) If you don't want to create your own installer, you can use online services that let you build your installers, .msi or even .exe without writing a code or debugging it. One that comes to mind is at http://installer.codeeffects.com

Just a Trick for question 2:Can we debug the OnStart method of windows service?

yes we can just Add a Thread.sleep(40000); in onStart event.
place a break point. start the service attch the service with debugger.

First of all thanks abhishek for such a nice article..!
Actually I am looking for a solution to the timer problem.
It fires only for certain period of time, then it stops even though the service is running.

These two things mentioned in the article's comments really worked out for me..!

oTimer.InitializeLifetimeService()
GC.KeepAlive(oTimer)

protected const iTIME_INTERVAL As Integer = 60000
protected System.Threading.Timer oTimer;

Title: service fire event once   
Name: Yves Lechasseur
Date: 2009-01-27 12:27:50 PM
Comment:
the right code should be:

Protected oTimer As System.Threading.Timer
Protected Const iTIME_INTERVAL As Integer = 60000

Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
Thats will correct the mistake in the code and the service keep running. For database conection to an SQL server on the Internet, use this type of connection string:


Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=125.125.125.125,9999;Password=xxxxx;User ID=yyyyy;Initial Catalog=your database"
9999 is the MSSQL ports

hope this will help

Great article by the way..

Abhi, thx a lot for the article. Very well written, in a lucid language. Got started with my first windows services with it. well done.

Only one thing, u have demostrated the debugging process through "Set Up" Project and Installing the service. Any code change in the service needs complete iteration of the installation steps.
I happened to bump into an msdn article, where i read this..
you can directly install and uninstall the debug version of your build from your project folder using InstallUtil command.
To Install:
InstallUtil YourWindowsService.exe

To Uninstall:
InstallUtil /u YourWindowsService.exe

It works and hence saves the debug time.
You might need to add the .net framework path to the PATH environment variable though...

hi,
1) i have created and windows application A1 and installed on my system. i want the application to be started when i log into the system.
2) i have created webservice B1 to start the application A1 when the system starts. and i kept the code in such a way that is checks for A1 application every minute.
3) if the A1 application is not running it will automatically starts A1 application.

My problem is
1) First time when i restarted the system A1 is getting executed.when i closed the A1 application then the b1 webservice should start the A1 application but its not executing.
2) when my A1 application is running and when i am logging into database then its giving a message odbc drivers are not found... But i have odbc drivers in my system.
with out using the process of B1 webservice if i am running the A1 application directly then i am getting connected to database.

please can any one tell why it is happening? what is the solution?

Hi Abhishek ,

When I say that process is still running after uninstallin service, I mean that if I open Task Manager I can see a process with the name I've given to mine. I assume that it's an instance of my process that's still running, but why is it there when I've uninstalled? And how to kill it?

I've tried what they say in a link before (http://vbnotebookfor.net/2007/08/16/how-to-uninstall-a-failed-windows-service-installation/)
but it gives me an error saying there doesn't exist a process with the given name.

Oh, Abhishek, I was writing my previous message while you published yours.

I've configured the service to initiate it manually, so before uninstall I stop it manually. Then the steps I follow are: build code, build setup project, install setup, init service through the services console, attach the process to the debugger, stop the debugger when I finish, stop the service through the services console, uninstall the service. Install and Uninstall actions are done through the IDE (VStudio 2005).

As I said before, after these steps I can re-run the services again, so I don't really have a problem with the service. But I'm worried about this process that keeps running "forever".

Hi EAmez,
Is my previous commnet helpful to you? I wonder if you are getting some different issue. In your case check the status of service whether it has gone to "Disabled". If so than you may to manually remove it.. before installing again. or you can change the service name to some other and forget the disabled service.
Let me know if anything else. Thanks.

Hi James,
I had also faced this problem serveral times.I think the problem with service uninstallation is not a big problem actually. What you need to do after uninstallation of service is - EITHER refresh the service console window (then you will see service will disappear) OR close the service console window before trying to install service in fresh. I believe this a minor bug left by Windows. If you keep console window it doesn't automatically removes that service from the list.
Hope it will help you. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem than James Collet. I think I've done nearly the same things. I've installed the windows service through the IDE, run it through the services console, debugged it, stopeed the debugger and then uninstalled de service through the IDE. I first thought that the service was still running because I've put a Thread.Sleep instruction, but after restarting the workstation it's still running.

And if I try to kill the proccess through the tasks administrator it "ignores" me (it seems like if the process automatically restarts after killing).

¿Why does this happens?

No, I don't think that is the issue or the solution.

I can install the service, form scratch, from the VS 2005 IDE, with no errors.

Then I shut down the IDE.

The Service turns up in the Services console. I start the service and it runs, writing out the lines of text to the text file.

Then I stop the service from Windows and open the solution in the IDE again.

I right click the setup project and choose "Uninstall". It appears to execute this process successfully, but if I open the Wondows Services console again, I see that the service is still there, albeit not running.

Just to be ultra careful, I restart the workstation, just in case. But the service is still installed.

I open the solution in the IDE again and attempt to uninstall the service again, but I get the error message: "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."

So next I try to install the service again, but I get the error message: "The specified service already exists."

This strikes me as Classic Microsoft crap. Or Maybe I am being stupid. Experience suggests the former. If anyone has a clue what is going wrong here I should be most grateful to know.

I have just found this link, which identifies the scenario. It might lead to an understanding of what I have done wrong:-

http://vbnotebookfor.net/2007/08/16/how-to-uninstall-a-failed-windows-service-installation/

P.s. Incidentally, when the service ran, it worked for a few hours and then stoipped writing to the file. I think this might be another issue with he code.

Hi James, you are getting error "it is not allowed to install an already-installed service." while trying to install the service second time, because you missed to uninstall it before that. My strong suggestion would be : Always uninstall the service with the same setup used to install the service, then only you should update the setup. Most of the time you can not uninstall the service with the setup which got updated with modified code in service.
I think you got the answer.
Thanks.

Craig, I think you need to check your db connection and datareader type of object used in the code properly. Check if you are closing connection and datareader in each call, if you are initializing in the trigger function itself. I think i need to see your code to determine the exact reason.
Thanks.

This article seems very comprehensive.

I wanted to change the operation of this service so that it appends a vbNewLine at the end of the message that it writes to the text file.

It's easy enough to change the source and rebuild, but how to redeploy this change? I tried to Uninstall and re-install from the IDE but this resulted in a message saying that I was not allowed to install an already-installed service. Nor could I find a way to delete the service from the Services Manager.

This must be Kindergarten stuff but this baby service coder ain't gettng it.

I had no issue copying your code in this article and getting a service up and running. However, once I changed the code to do some other database related tasks, it randomly stops executing. The odd part is, the serivce is not stopping? The code will run anywhere from 10 to 20 times and then just stops executing?

I have tried adding break points on the code as oulined in the article and there are no logic errors in the code itself.

Anyone know why this may be happening or how to fix it?

Thank you!

hi vidyashankar,
i think your doubt is very simple to clear. Windows services periodication triggers a user defined funtion using Timer object. Like in the above example you can see code:
'------
Dim tDelegate As Threading.TimerCallback = AddressOf EventAction
'---------
Here that triggerable function is EventAction which i have given name in this article.
again you can find the difinition of that function:
'----------
Public Sub EventAction(ByVal sender As Object)
'
'write your logic for one trigger here
'
End Sub
'------
Put your processing login/code in this functtion.
You can set timeinterval for each trigger for the service. Timer takes it in millisecond.
That's it. Then build the setup project,install the service and start.. see it will work as you want.

Hope it is clear to you. Thanks a lot.

hi pradip,
Opening log file in NOTEPAD should not cause suce type of error. Reason for timer not firing properly could be something else. Check you time interval properly. as you know timer object accepts time interval in milliseconds.
Hope you will get it right.

Hi...

Very Nice article to start understanding windows service.

I am also working on some kinds of windows services. So as a base I created the above sample windows service and it worked fine. However The timer was not firing properly.

For checking whether the service is running properly or not i used to open the log text file regularly. I think this is the reason that the service can't put entry into the log file. It throws an exeption and so the service terminates.

I am not sure whether this is the exact reason.

Please comment if am worng or you have to add some points into it.

Just wanted to say that this is great article! worked well for me. I have one sneeky tip that some people may find usefull.

If you would like to debug the process from the start process , if you add in a thread.sleep for a given time (say a minute), this should give you enough time to attach VS to the process. Remember to remove the sleep before you go to test/production :-)

Title: Debugging Windows service   
Name: Abhishek Singh (Author)
Date: 2008-02-14 1:22:59 AM
Comment:
Hi Kavita,
As i have mentioned in the article we can not debug the onstart() of the service since service comes in process list after startring. As the service must be started to attach its process to debugger, we need the service to be started in advance. Hence, normally we cannot debug the OnStart method of service. So you should put breakpoint out of onstart().
However, we can make an extra dummy windows service which should internally start the actual service. By attaching debugger to the process of dummy service we can step into the OnStart method of actual service to debug it.

shweta,
Windows service any how needs periodic (say for each 2 minutes) timer event to be raised. Now it depends upon you how you can check if it is business hours then only process the resource using functionalities. Here i mean service will be runnning though.
if you want not to raise unnecessary timer event unless it is business hours then you can skip using windows service and go for windows build-in scheduler to setup your functional program.
Hope my comments have some meaning for you. Thanks.

Ilya, first of all I am really very happy to get such a detail and informative feedback by you. :-)

Your comment hints that you have done lot of findings about the services. Yes you are right. The same issue were with me while I was deploying services on almost 10-12 live servers. Few had Windows 2003 server and other windows server 2000.

Then service stop issue came to me also. I did lot of search for the reason and nowhere i could found the exact reason and solution. As all reasons were assumable. Then i did some experiments in the code (like changes in logging system) and finally i could make the service to run on all service without any issue. However still i can't say what made it to work.

May be i am with misconception that my lucky experiment in the code made it to work but in other way i also think that may be it was because of continuous updates of OS or service packs on live servers. :-)

Whatever be the consequences, thanx for your appreciation. Hope to get your valuable suggestion always.
Thanx!

Abhishek, first of all, thanks so much for your excellent article! I was looking for a quick example on how to use timers within a service and found so much more in your article: step-by-step instructions, deployment and debugging tips. Excellent!!!

However, I am experiencing the same problem as Rick, Mark, Manish and others reported below, and apparently many-many others reported elsewhere on the Internet.

Abhishek, to make sure I have not introduced any new problems, I am running your code attached to this article. I am even using your installation files (built by you on 06/08/2007). It seems to work fine on my Windows XP notebook (though I didn't to run it for too long), but when I install the AuthorLogService on a Windows 2003 SP2 Server, the service only works for a few minutes. After that it simply stops firing EventAction without any apperent reason. The service continues to run, but no further updates to AuthorLog.txt take place until I stop and start the service again.

Abhishek, I suspect it's not a fault of your program, but rather some Microsoft's bug. I just wish someone could find a quick solution!

Thanks!

Hi Alexander,

1. Surely! you can reference and consume web services from inside Windows service project.

2. If you are not able to use debugger try to follow as i mentioned in this article.. it should work.

3. If service works only at start/restart then.. check your code properly if the even is being fired properly. You can also check your event handler code in windows application and if it works there then place it into service. If still get problem there are other technical issue based on service which may cause this like OS related, service event time related, event log access issues etc. You need to go through forums properly and do a bit RnD.

Hi Manish, thanx for your try. Yes, the windows service should run infinitely (untill it is being stopped or system shutdown).
If your service stops writing into file.. please check at that time whether service status is showing "Started" or not (do refresh before that).
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Please add following lines of code at end in OnStart() method and then rebuild service and setup.

oTimer.InitializeLifetimeService()
GC.KeepAlive(oTimer)

Now install and test the updated service and please let me know if it works.

Comment:
Thanx Prabhu for the appreation. Special thanx to MHarr for sharing another trick to debug OnStart() of a service. I explore it bit more here.

Guys! I tried it and .. it worked :)
We just need to put

#If DEBUG Then
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch()
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break()
#End If

as the initial statements in OnStart() method of the service. Then you build the service and setup in DEBUG mode and then install the service. Now START the service, it will show you the JIT debugger window and choose YOUR SERVICE PROJECT IN VS 2005 in that. It will move to your service project and will step into the code. Thereafter you can debug entire service. IF YOU DON'T SEE VS 2005 IN THE LIST YOU NEED SET VS 2005 TO WORK AS DEBUGGER THROUGH ITS IDE.

Thanx to all.

Abhishek.

Comment:
To debug OnStart event in service, put this code at or near the beginning of the OnStart method:

#If DEBUG Then
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch()
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break()
#End If

The "If DEBUG" will start debugging only if the program was compiled for Debug mode, not Release mode. This way it will launch the debugger (Visual Studio) and break execution, but not affect your production release that you compile in Release mode.

Hi Rose, to get your service after successfull installation you need to refresh the list(no need if you are opening SCM window after installation). If still you don't get your service there then check your service name properly. Note that .msi file name and service name may differ.

And to get the .msi file in Debug folder- choose comilation mode as "Debug".

Hi Mayank... when you uninstall service.. it removes the the service too. The service list in not being updated automatically. You need to refresh the list. Then the service from the list will disappear.

One more thing.. if the SCM window is open and successfully uninstalled the service ... then reinstallation of service might fail if you don't refresh the list.
If it doesn't solves your problem let me know. thanx.
