Well, the particular service that I posted I didn't run as a console app.
But, before doing the walkthru I did another windows service with exactly
the same problem. I developed it just the way you suggested below. Created a
console app and used it to debug all the code. Then I transferred the code
to a service and installed it. The result was the same as below...
The code in the walkthru is pretty simple. Basically all it does is write to
an EventLog in both the OnStart and OnStop methods.
