Is anyone running a VDF10 app as a windows service?

I have upgraded an application from VDF7 to VDF10.1. The VDF7 version
installs and runs as a service without any problems. The VDF10.1 installs
and starts, however, it is stopped shortly after with the following message:
"Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in
a timely fashion." Almost as if windows never received acknowledgement that
the service had actually started.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I tried it and didn't have much luck with it, vdf 7 worked nicely though.
So, I ended up using a 3rd party scheduler which works great.
http://www.splinterware.com/ offers a free one called "System Scheduler" and
it works very well with VDF executables.

This won't be much help, but we are running a couple of services on an
XP 'services' box, which also runs our mailserver, AV update server
etc . Have run without modification through 9.0, 9.1, 10, 10.1.

I do, quite a lot. The perfect tool for this is FireDaemon.
