ExampleService works if I run through VS, but not with dotnet command

This is exactly what I'am also struggling to get to work.

I've been trying for 3 days non stop, but also no luck. I'am just trying it with my own "test" service but your steps above is exactly what I've done and get the same results.

It gives this error straight away so it does not appear to be a timeout issue. There is also no info in the event log.

It works 100% when you run it through VS IDE in debug mode

Update
I was able to get it to work outside of the IDE. I had to target a specific runtime in my project.json (win10-x64 in my case) so my own console application would generate an exe. I then did the publish, navigated to the publish directory and didn't use dotnet to run it. Instead I ran the exe with action:install and it worked!

I hope that helps you, I know I was struggling a bit with this.

Thank you so much. I will give this a try!

Morning guys, thanks Sepaphoria, that definitely works :) that's actually what I was doing with all my services so I never even encountered this, gave it a shot yesterday and the indeed is a problem with running even the simplest code with dotnet. I have an idea on what I could try but for now feel free to use that *.exe approach. Portable apps seem to work just fine. I'll let you both know when I have any news about this. @PaulCoetser I will use this issue as it specifically meant to solve this problem.

Hi @Sepaphoria & @PaulCoetser . Good news. I've fixed the problem and the solution is now available via nuget. Release version is 1.0.13. Would be great if you could try it so that I can close the issue :) There's also one minor fix. I've seen the service fail to reinstall from time to time saying the service is marked for deletion. This is now handled via retries and all works well.
