Error 1053 When Starting Window Service Written In Python

I have already looked at and tried the resolutions to this question that others have posted. One user said that to try and change my setup.py file from: from distutils.core import

Solution 1:

Have you progressed from your original problem. I had similar problem with a python service and found out that it was missing DLLs since the 'System Path' (not the user path) was not complete.

Running pythonservice.exe with -debug from the command prompt was not a problem because it used correct PATH environment variable, but if your service is installed as a System service it's worth checking out if the System Path variable has all the paths for the required DLLs (MSVC, Python, System32). For me it was missing the python DLLs path, after that it worked again.
