title: What is the timeout for starting a windows service?
body: <p>I have deployed my windows service (using independently installer class and SC.EXE), but I get an error when I try to start it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>---------------------------
  Services
  ---------------------------
  Could not start the MyName service on Local Computer.
  
  
  
  Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is the timeout? It felt like around 3 secs. What do I need to do if my service takes longer?</p>
