VB.NET - start window service automatically not working
Asked By kiruba .e on 20-Jun-12 09:31 AM
hi,
i wrote this code in my windowservice.
Its not working. what s my ques is, how to write code to start window service after my setup file installation.
I dont want to use installuitl or anything. just i want to install the service only. After installation it should start automatically.
Private Sub ServiceInstaller1_Committed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Configuration.Install.InstallEventArgs) Handles ServiceInstaller1.Committed
Dim controller = New ServiceController(Me.ServiceInstaller1.ServiceName)
controller.Start()
controller.WaitForStatus(System.ServiceProcess.ServiceControllerStatus.Running)
End Sub
thanks regards

Please use the
AfterInstall method, this works for me. For your code sample, it will be as follows:
Private Sub ServiceInstaller1_AfterInstall(sender As Object, e As InstallEventArgs)
Dim sctlr As New ServiceController(Me.ServiceInstaller1.ServiceName)
sctlr.Start()
End Sub
If you still see it not started, look at the
Event Viewer - there would be an error logged on why the service failed to initialize. (Please type "eventvwr" in your run menu without quotes, to launch the event viewer. Please look below for a screen shot)
Hope this helps.

For this you need to add installer class and in that class you have to define some functionality like this-
Public ServiceInstaller()
{
//... Installer code here
this.AfterInstall += new InstallEventHandler(ServiceInstaller_AfterInstall);
}
void ServiceInstaller_AfterInstall(object sender, InstallEventArgs e)
{
//Code to start automatically
ServiceController sc = new ServiceController("ServiceName");
sc.Start();
}
Try this and let me know;

In your installer class just add the event handler for the afterinstall ,
public ServiceInstaller()
{
//... Installer code here
this.AfterInstall += new InstallEventHandler(ServiceInstaller_AfterInstall);
}
void ServiceInstaller_AfterInstall(object sender, InstallEventArgs e)
{
ServiceController sc = new ServiceController("ServiceName");
sc.Start();
}

hi…
here is the code in VB.Net
Public Sub New()
'... Installer code here
Me.AfterInstall += New InstallEventHandler(AddressOf ServiceInstaller_AfterInstall)
End Sub
Private Sub ServiceInstaller_AfterInstall(sender As Object, e As InstallEventArgs)
Dim sc As New ServiceController("ServiceName")
sc.Start()
End Sub

Along with other tech guys suggestions, I would recommend you to follow steps:
1. Open service class design window and add installer for service.
2. Right click serviceInstaller's instance serviceInstaller1
(by default) --> Properties
3. Set
StartType (Indicates how and when this service is started) to
Automatic.
4. Build and install the service. Now onwards the service would start automatically after installation.
