This is my first time building a windows service, and I thought I had it working. Installing as python aservice.py install
works fine, and responds accordingly.
However, since the machines that I will need to install this service on, will not have python installed, I wanted to build it into an executable, that can install the service. Although the executable is successful in installing the service, When I try to start it either manually, or through net start
or sc start
The service does not respond.
Starting manually returns - Error 1053: The Service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
Net Start returns - The Service did not respond to the control function.
When installed with python, it responds to all commands, and works fine. Not sure what is happening during the build process, but I am obviously missing something
Using Python 3.4 64 bit. All boxes that need the service, will also be 64 bit.
class aservice(win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework):
_svc_name_ = "Test Login Service"
_svc_display_name_ = "Test Login Service"
_svc_description_ = "Test"

win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework.__init__(self, args)
self.hWaitStop = win32event.CreateEvent(None, 0, 0, None)

self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_STOP_PENDING)
win32event.SetEvent(self.hWaitStop)

servicemanager.LogMsg(servicemanager.EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE,servicemanager.PYS_SERVICE_STARTED,(self._svc_name_, ''))
self.timeout = 3000
while 1:
# Wait for service stop signal, if I timeout, loop again
rc = win32event.WaitForSingleObject(self.hWaitStop, self.timeout)
# Check to see if self.hWaitStop happened
if rc == win32event.WAIT_OBJECT_0:
# Stop signal encountered
servicemanager.LogInfoMsg("aservice - STOPPED")
break

servicemanager.LogInfoMsg("aservice - is alive and well")

build command = python setup.py py2exe
I have tried setup.py with windows also, that works the same, but doesnt print console logs.
Any ideas how I can properly install this service on computers that dont have python?
Edit: setup.py working
`from distutils.core import setup
