Question

I’m trying to start a service with C # but throws me the following error:

ServiceController service = new ServiceController(sServiceName);
service.MachineName = localComputerName;
service.Start();
service.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running);

System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot open service on computer
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied at
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.GetServiceHandle(Int32
desiredAccess) at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Stop()

Look for your permissions. May me you need to run your app (or Visual Studio) from Administrator account.
