Hi All, Just to let you know, after how long of searching for an answer, in the end the problem was inside the code on initializing a public variable. instead of having [very rough]
public class myclass
{
workflowservicehost host = new workflowservicehost();
public myclass(...) {}
}
I had to change it to
public class myclass
{
workflowservicehost host;
public myclass(...)
{
host = new workflowservicehost();
}
}
Doing this fixed the "Error 1053", and the service started without hassle! Now, if only I can find out WHY that worked on my dev machine (Win7, VS2008) and not when deployed to the server (WinServ2003), it sure would be great! My only thought is something to do with the underlying infrastructure, but any guess further that that is well.. yet another guess.
