Remoting service won't start

[Ray Stevens]

We have a remoting service that runs fine on local development machines, but
throws the following error when attempting to start it on a Windows 2003
server:

"Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in
a timely fashion"

This error occurs in a fraction of a second. Does anyone know what might be
causing it?

I often see those kinds of errors in services because of things like
syntax errors in the App.config file, or in the constructor, or on init.

Check those areas, or use a Trace log file and next any questionable
code in a try/catch block.
