Hi,

I have installed the Windows Service using the MSI setup.
From the Window Service I am trying to read the XML using the mentioned code:

path = new DirectoryInfo(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory).FullName;
var custs = from c in XElement.Load(path).Elements("Record") select c;

But when I am running the Service getting the error as : Error on
mscorlib at Could not find a part of the path 'D:\EDS\MailScheduler\'.

Can anyone please help?

Regards,

Hi Gnanadura,

Thanks for the response.
I have checked the xml is there at the specified path.

I am able to access the xml when I install the Window Service by InstallUtil utility. But, when I install the Window Service by using the Setup and Deployment of .NET, it gives the error.

Can you please help?

Hi,

The article is good, but not much helpful to me.

I think there is some issue with the installation.

Hi,

Yes there is App.config file in the Windows Service project.
The same config file was included when the Setup was created.

Hi,

Can anyone provide some more solutions to the issue?

Accoding to your question, the service works well if it is installed by InstallUtil utility, but when the service is deployed by a msi exe file, it shows an error.
Seems something missed when create the Setup or deploy the service, I redirected this post toSetup & Deployment Forum for better support.

Thanks,
Eric

Is that all of your exact code? I'm wondering, because one of the ways you get that error is by putting together path strings to get a complete file path, but some of the paths are quoted. You end up with "D:\Some long quoted name"\dir1\file.xml and that's not valid.

How about D: ? Is it a mapped drive? Is it this?
