Hi!
I'm trying to start a process on a remote machine. I'm using OpenSCManager(), CreateService(), QueryServiceStatusEx() and StartService() API-s. I'm able to successfully install my process as a serice, but when i'm trying to start it, StartService returns with errorocode 1053 ("The service didn't respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."). Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!
