VB

Me.ServiceProcessInstaller1.Account =System.ServiceProcess.ServiceAccount.LocalSystem
Me.ServiceInstaller1.StartType = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceStartMode.Automatic

How you know that the event is not invoked?! You need to log it event using event log to be sure...

Use System.Diagnostics.EventLog:

This is the ultimate correct way to figure out if something is invoked or not.

Sorry, your comment is hard to understand. If you put appropriate punctuation and casing, I'll probably will be able to understand it... thank you.
