When I try to start a particular Windows service I get an error that the "service terminated unexpectedly". I have checked the path to the exe, and the parameters for the service several times. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the service and bouncing the box. The Event Viewer>Application logs show only the same error message.
Does anyone know of a way to get a log file of what is happening?
