Hi Team, We have Upgraded a windows service from .Net4.7.2 framework to .NetCore 6.0 , We are encountering an issue when we try to start the service through service.msc

Question

Error Details are as follows:

Application:Myservice.exe

CoreCLR Version: 6.0.2123.36311

.NET Version: 6.0.21

Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

Exception Info: System.PlatformNotSupportedException: ServiceController enables manipulating and accessing Windows services and it is not applicable for other operating systems.

   at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase..ctor()

   at Myservice..ctor() in C:\Dev\Visual Studio\MyServiceProcessor\Myservice.cs:line 17

   at Myservice.Program.Main() in C:\Dev\Visual Studio\MyServiceProcessor\Myservice\Program.cs:line 22

We have installed System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController from nuget package in order to resolve the issue but no luck.

Hi @Sridhar Reddy Arjula ,

Try cleaning up your project's publish directory before publishing it.

Right click on project in vs studio.

Select Manage NuGet Packages

browse Online "System.ServiceController" Package

If Version 9.0.0 or higher is installed, then uninstall it

Now Select Version 8.0.1. And Install it.

I have the same issue. And i ended up downgrading System.ServiceController from v9.0.0 to v8.0.1.

I think in V 9.0.0 there are many restrictions applied.
