Vista - WCFService Hosted as Windows Service.

Hi i am trying to host WCF service as a windows service The service has been
installed successfully. I can see the my service in Service Configuration
Manager (SCM) using services.msc but when i attempt to start the service it
stops immediately with message:
"The Service1 service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some
services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the
Performance Logs and Alert service"
Here is some part of code that i have written.
public partial class Service123 : ServiceBase
{
public ServiceHost serviceHost = null;
public Service123()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
if (serviceHost != null)
{
serviceHost.Close();
}

// Create a ServiceHost for the WcfCalculatorService type and
provide the base address.
serviceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(MSMQServer123));

// Open the ServiceHostBase to create listeners and start
listening for messages.
serviceHost.Open();
}

protected override void OnStop()
{
if (serviceHost != null)
{
serviceHost.Close();
serviceHost = null;
}
}
}
[ServiceContract]

class MSMQServer123
{

[OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
// [FaultContract(typeof(DivideByZeroException))]
void SayHi()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hi from Server");
throw new FaultException<DivideByZeroException>(new
DivideByZeroException());
}
}

Normally services refuse to start when an exception occurs.

Try to catch the Exception on your OnStart - Method and log it to a file to
see whats wrong.

Maybe its due to a misconfiguration in your app.config - file.

The errors in the applicatiopn are also logged in the Application Log
of the Event Viewer (administrative tasks in the Control Panel).
