py2exe, 2.3 and services (raising flag again)

[Brad Clements]

Now that Thomas is back from vacation ;-)

I cannot get the example service to work using Python 2.3 and the latest
released py2exe (or the cvs version) on Win2k SP3. I can run the sample
service .py file ok, but once it's inside a py2exe generated exe.. no
working. The error in the event log is:

The description for Event ID ( 240 ) in Source ( MyService ) cannot be
found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or
message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following
information is part of the event: 1063, The service process could not
connect to the service controller..


I'm looking for a suggestion or two on how I can start debugging this
problem. How do you debug py2exe generated .exe's? I have VC++ 6.0
