I am writing a WCF Service using MSMQ hosted in a Windows Service on Windows
XP. All the required components are installed (.NET3, MSMQ, etc).
For some reason my service tries to start and then stops right away. I have
looked at everything and can't see anything wrong - in fact, I started this
a few weeks ago and I swear it was running at one point.
I have included the app.config and service code below - any idea why my
service will not stay running? Thanks!
