Cannot stop Windows Service

[jachin84]

I've installed mmbot as a Windows service but when attempting to stop the service I receive the message:

Error 1061: The service cannot accept control messages at this time.

Is there anything else in the event log?

Does it start directly from a command prompt?

Sorry I should have checked. The event log has an error:

Failed to stop service. System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException: Object '/3c782d23_223e_4d55_9b33_c7177775871b/kvkpjymornpcwnlxixqnqj6u_3.rem' has been disconnected or does not exist at the server.

   at mmbot.Service.OnStop() in c:\Data\Source\mmbot\mmbot\Service.cs:line 42
   at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.DeferredStop()```

I've not had any issues running it via the command line yet.

I'm seeing this exact issue as well when running mmbot as a Windows service. Also, not sure it is related, but after a few hours it seems to "hang" and not receive any more messages (using HipChatAdapter). Since I can't stop/restart the service, I have to use Task Manager to kill the process and manually start it up again.
