Yes, the system cannot find the named file. What more detail do you need?

No, that's not so easy and simple as it may look like at first view. See my answer below.

I would suggest to check event viewer and "hopefully" you might be able to find more information about the failure.

Looks like a dynamically generated dll. If you use e.g. XMLSerializer, such dlls are created for each type to be serialized/deserialized, dynamically at run-time, in the temp folder. And that's the point where something went wrong with your service.
What does happen when you debug the service from Visual Studio (note: you must use some tricks to do so, e.g. Debugging Windows Services under Visual Studio .NET[^])?
You could write your own code for serialization/deserialization of the objects to prevent that problem.
