windows service set up issue

i have a setup project setup1 which deploys two windows services windows
service1,window s service2.i also added some custom installation actions into
it using projectinstalle r.cs.In windowsservice1 oninstall event,i attached a
database ;(create database for attach command) .
in windowsservice2 onuninstall event,i deletes the databse using "drop
database";
the setup exe installs the windows services successfully.bu t when i
uninstall them, the drop database does not work as sql server places a lock
on mdf files.(cant drop database as mdf file is in use).how can i solve this
problem. Also since uninstall operation is not transactional, only the
windowsservice1 gets uninstalled. when i again try to uninstall ,it shows
"the specified service does not exist as an i nstalled service"(probab ly the
setup again tries to unstall the already uninstalled windowsservice1 ).

How can i solve these problems?
i need a way to unlock the mdf files before executing drop database
command
And in unstall event of windows service 1, i need a way to check if it is
already uninstalled
public override void UnInstall()
{
how to check whether the service already uninstalled()?;
base.Uninstall( );

}

I have .Net Framework 1.1 services that run without issue on windows 2000 professional; however when set to automatic on windows 2000 server the service control manager reports that the "service hung on starting". Sometimes when the message is reported, the service starts anyways. Other times it doesn't. I have created an empty service...

Hi all, I have developed a windows service using the windows service project template in VS.NET. I have used three controls in the service, a timer, performance counter and a message queue control. The service will "sleep" for 'n' seconds using the timer control and whenever the timer_elapsed event occurs, I use the performance counter object to determine availability of few resources. Based on the availability of resources, I use the...

I am having yet another issue with Windows Server 2003. This time, the web service (a file import web service) appears to run except for one odd message: "ActiveX component can't create object". There are no other statements to indicate what object cannot be created. Otherwise, everything on the test Windows Server 2003 works fine—all import data updates correctly. Unfortunately, my normal development environment is not Windows...

Hello: I wrote an .exe that I would like to be called by a service I am deploying to a server. However, I am not sure how to tell the setup project to include the .exe. Also, I do not know how to tell the service where the .exe actually resides on the server. I would like to prevent hard-coding it since the software will be distributed to different offices in my company.

Hi. I know my windows service works when i run it in debug mode on my dev machine. It also works in release mode on my dev machine. But, when I move the service to a production server, it exits immediately with a start/stop/nothing to do error. What could be wrong?

I'm looking into a production issue related to a windows service and System.Timers.Timer. The background is the windows service uses a System.Timers.Timer to periodically poll a directory location on a network for files and then copies these files to another location (on the network) AND then updates a record in the database. The file copying is performed before the database update because the file system is not transactional. The code...

I'm really starting to hate writing services -- or trying to, anyway. Why do I need to rename my project to the service name? Why do I need to set the "ServiceName" property to my service name? Why do I need to set a property within my code to the service name? Are all these required or am I just doing this for consistency purposes?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
