I know this is an oldie but I was experiencing this issue and couldn't find anything that was helpful so I hope this helps someone else!

The issue had to do with the sc create "YourServiceNameHere" command. When using this command you can supply the parameter type, providing the wrong value may be causing the issues.

When running the sc query "YourServiceNameHere" command, the result returned that the service was attempting to run using a shared process when it actually needed it's own.

The resolution for me was to change my command from sc create "YourServiceNameHere" type= share to sc create "YourServiceNameHere". After running the service create command with the type specified, change the output of the sc query command and shows it's running in it's own process and the service successfully starts and continues running.

I really hope this helps someone, it caused me much stress!

Its a very vague error. I can result from number of things and definitely not a code error.

  • Windows patch requires a restart. sfc /scannow on command prompt as admin.
  • The kernal.dll should normal exist on the location mentioned on the error else run the regsvr32 KERNELBASE.dll on command prompt as admin.
  • Restart your server.
  • Make sure correct framework is installed and any reference into your configs.
  • Correct service user if it was supposed to run with specific access or permission.
  • Make sure your application configuration is set to Any CPU to avoid 32bit and 64bit mismatch.
  • Make sure none of the system services are stuck in starting, if there are any easy thing to do is restart and validate or check your event logs to locate the specific issue

Ours was due to service user, wrong user was mapped which caused the issue.
