• This article's sole purpose is to provide information regarding the services that your Windows VPS may utilize. Below, you will find the services' configuration and log file locations, which may be useful in troubleshooting errors on your VPS.
• Additionally, you must package a copy of the service configuration file along with the service assembly and any dependent DLLs that you deploy to the Windows Azure storage account. Note: To change service configuration settings, you only need to update the on-premises copy of the service configuration file.

I'm currently developing a basic windows service with a configuration file (servicename.exe.config), the default configuration file you access in a Visual Studio project properties. This service installs and runs correctly, however I am unable to find the configuration file of the installed service.

Read/Write code snippet:

Project settings image:

• The service is running under the local system account
• When stopping the service, changing a setting in the servicename.exe.config (next to the executable) and starting the service does not change the setting (proving its not pulling the settings from this config file)
• When altering a setting in the service code, stopping and starting the service, the setting has the updated value from the previous run (proving it is being saved somewhere)
• AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile points to the above config file

I have looked in the sub-directories of AppData in the default and public user accounts, I have also looked in C:Windowssystem32configsystemprofileAppData

Any help would be appreciated :)

EDIT: Added code snippet of save/read

You are using user settings. These settings are not stored in servicename.exe.config next to the executable. I found this article at MSDN. It describes where user.config is stored and how to get the file path of that config.

Personally I don't think that using user settings is a good choice for windows service which by default runs under local system account (if not set differently). I would suggest to use a local file database (i.e. sqlite or Sqlserver CE etc.) for these settings.

There should be a web.config file after install, if you installed it correctly on your system.
An installed service should not be in C:Windowssystem32.. it should be in C:inetpubwwwroot

Configuring the properties of a Windows Service using command prompt and scripting it in a batch file is really simple and can save you from performing the same manual configuration again and again.

The sc utility comes handy to achieve this.

In the example below, we are going to configure a windows service to:

• Set the startup type as automatic.
• Run the service under a particular account
• Set the failure actions for the service and set the reset period.
• Define dependencies.

To give a more clear understanding, screenshots of the service properties UI is attached along with the scripts to set the configurations.

1. Set the startup type as automatic.

Note here that although the Display name of the Service is myfirstservice, The actual Service name is Service1. We need to use the actual service name in the scripts to control the service properties.

2. Run the service under a particular account

3.Set the failure actions for the service and set the reset period.

The restart service times are in milliseconds and the reset fail count time is in seconds.

4. Define dependencies.

Our service depends on the SQL Server service, whose Actual Service name is MSSQLServer, To set this dependency, use the following command.

Finally, to start the server use
