Hi all,

On WinXP service pack 3 when I want to run the SimpleService sample, it says 
OK on the install step, but when I try to start it, I get the following 
error:

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

Thanks in advance for the help

Found the answer after reading the information on ServiceController class. 
Every file must be on local drive C: (dlls and exe). E: local drive does not 
qualify (exe was on this drive) and Subst Z: (from a directory of C: which 
contains dlls) either. When I put everything in a directory on C:, it 
executed fine.
