Hi,
I have created my service in VC++ on windows XP. My application is having so many dll(more than 15). When I start service I receive above message immediatly. I read that when it takes more then 30 sec to start it gives above error but in my service error come immediatly. Can any one tell me solution to resolve this problem.
I have used file logging in main, servicemain, control method but log file is not created meaning those function are not getting called.

Can any one tell me solution for this problem.

Solution 1

I would guess the service exits immediately or something. I would bet it's problem with your code or the DLL search path.
It would be usefull to put some code used in startup

ServiceHandler class is exported from another dll which internally used more then 10 dll. Please tell me mistake that I am doing.
I have tried to run this program by removing servicehandler class then code runs properlly
