title: Windows Service Timing Out Instantly
body: <p>I have written a windows service in C#.  I am able to install and run it locally on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine.</p>
  
  <p>When I install it on my remote virtual private server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, 64-bit), I get the following:</p>
  
  <p>"Error 1053: The MyService service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"</p>
  
  <p>The weird thing is that this message shows immediately.  It should take 30 seconds for such a message to show.</p>
  
  <p>I have checked the windows event logs, and it shows me no further information.</p>
