Adding few more check's and points to solve this above issue.

1. Build service in release mode and take release folder files and kept in different path
2. Copy that path and go to visual studio command prompt window and run this bellow sample command to install the service.
3. Please close services.msc window if its opened , then run C:Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0>InstallUtil.exe C:\RunLocationServices\TestService.exe
4. Go services.msc and select that service and click on start ,if it changed to "started" then your service running fine.

Still if issue exists then Another Checkpoint & SOLUTION When a service starts, the service communicates to the Service Control Manager how long the service must have to start (the time-out period for the service). If the Service Control Manager does not receive a "service started" notice from the service within this time-out period, the Service Control Manager terminates the process that hosts the service. This time-out period is typically less than 30 seconds. If you do not adjust this time-out period, the Service Control Manager ends the process. To adjust this time-out period, follow these steps: 1.Go to Start > Run > and type regedit 2.Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control With the control folder selected, right click in the pane on the right and select new DWORD Value 3.Name the new DWORD: ServicesPipeTimeout 4.Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify Click Decimal, type '180000', and then click OK 5.Restart the computer

Still if issue exists then problem in your service code ,infinate loop may occur due to your methods/classes of service calling. Do code review of each line.
