My license service package installs fine sometimes, and sometimes it fails. Weird. The problem then should be the timing, which triggers an error message. I found this, which could be the reason of the problem:
Quote:
The most likely cause is that your service startup times out, which means that it doesn't update its "start pending" status often enough with the Windows Service Control Manager. As a result, the SCM times out and returns an error message to the installer, even though your service may be continuing its startup process in the background.
To resolve this, make sure that your ServiceMain() function calls SetServiceStatus() regularly to update the wait hint or the check point value.

Any idea how to implement this solution, or any other solution to this problem? I use ILS 5 and C#. Thank you.

This is not really an ILS problem - more a windows service problem. I have never seen that issue with the sample license server project - is your service essentially doing the same thing? Does the problem happen when installing the service or when starting it? Have you checked the event log for any errors?

Yes, my service is essentially doing the same thing. It's based on the sample project. The problem arises when starting the service. The event log says the following:
Quote:
The license service failed to start due to the following error. The service didn't respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. A timeout was reached while waiting for the license service to connect.

When I check the list of services it shows the service installed and "started", but it was started late in the background, after the event timeout. The difference with the sample project is that I install the service using my installer, rather than the command prompt as done in the sample. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

Is it repeatable? Does it happen on different machines? If you install it and run it from the command line does the same thing happen? If you try installing and running the sample licence server service does it do the same thing on this machine?
