Error 1083 Starting Windows Service

Curt Burdick

Hi,

I'm going through the sample C# program on https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/b1df45/web-api-self. It's by Jasminder Singh and is titled "Web API Self-Hosting Using Windows Service: Part 1". I have successfully compiled it, and successfully installed it as a Windows Service (called WebAPISelfHosting). But when I try to start the service I get the message:

The WebAPISelfHosting service failed to start due to the following error:

The executable program that this service is configured to run in does not implement the service.

Any help is seriously appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you Joginder. Your answer of "check the service name and service process installer service name - both must be the same" fixed the 1083 error.

if you are getting this error check the service name and service process installer service name. Both must be the same.
