title: Windows server 2008 R2 Service error 1053

  Service is designed to sending emails from SQL db.
  Service developed by company which I work in.
  I used to use it in implementation for other customers and until now I had no errors so application files should be alright.</p>
  
  <p>I cant bear with problems during my implementation.
