All of a sudden (!) my Windows Service wont start. When I try to start it, it
returns immediately with the error in the subject line. The event data is as follows:

Fault bucket , type 0

At the same time, the Windows System log says that "The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion". It also says "A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the SDV collector to connect".

This is NOT true. It returns immediately, and an event log write in my OnStart method never gets executed.

This is running on Windows Server 2008 R2.

Also, this runs fine on my Windows XP development box.

I have searched for these errors, but most assume that the service is really simply not responding.

This error happens immediately when I try to start the service.

If this wasn't a server, I would try rebooting it, but for now I would rather
try and understand the problem.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I cannot help you much on the cause of your failure but can help you with the timeout report.

Whenever a service is in startup and throws an exception, you will always get that error message. Service startup does not care if you failed to respond due to a loop or an exception, it just cares as to whether or not you are completing startup successfully. When you return from your OnStart command the base class returns the code that indicates you started up successfully.

What I usually do is pull up a trace monitor (like from SysTools) and throw in trace.WriteLine commands as I progress thru the code. That helps to tell me where I blew up.

However...looking at what you displayed, the signature for you class is different from what it was when it was registered. Did you make a new version and just copy it onto the server? I believe for my services I always did an uninstall and install to ensure the signature matched what is being put out on the server.
