Topshelf server 2012 problems.

[Heinrich Kollner]

Hi Guys,

I am currently experiencing a problem where my topshelf service does not start on windows server 2012.
I have installed it on windows server 2008R2, Windows 7 as well as windows 8 without a problem.

The exact same build does not work on server 2012.

Using the command line it installs without error. When I start the service in the services console I get this error immediately: 1053: Did not respond in a timely fashion.
I have tried everything suggested on the forums without success.

I have built in logging and when starting the service it does not even hit the Start() method. Once again this service works on all other servers except for server 2012.

Here's my start up method:

static void Main()
        {
            try
            {

                HostFactory.Run(x =>
                {
                    x.Service<ApplicationStartup>(s =>
                    {
                        s.ConstructUsing(name => new ApplicationStartup());
                        s.WhenStarted(tc => tc.Start());
                        s.WhenStopped(tc => tc.Stop());
                    });
                    x.RunAsLocalSystem();
                    x.StartManually();
                    x.SetDescription("REDDOTT SOLUTION ENGINE");
                    x.SetDisplayName("REDDOTT SOLUTION ENGINE");
                    x.SetServiceName("REDDOTTSOLUTIONENGINE");
                });
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Logger.ErrorException("Main Registered an Exception.", ex);
                throw;
            }
        }

Thanks in advance.

So that means something in your Start() method is jamming things up. If it wouldn't install, then we would know it's your setup. Can you share what your start is doing? Do you know how long it takes on most machines?
