I was able to get the service to install just fine so that works good. When I start the service, it stops and I am getting no details on what is wrong. So here is my code:
Code:

{
public partial class MyServiceData : ServiceBase
{
private System.Timers.Timer _timer;
private Double ReadTime = Convert.ToDouble(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("ReadTime")) * 1000 * 60;
private DateTime _lastRun = DateTime.Now;
Thread _thread;
public MyServiceData()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
// These lines run when the service starts up
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
_timer = new System.Timers.Timer();
_timer.Elapsed += new System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(timer_Elapsed);
_timer.Enabled = true;
_timer.Interval = ReadTime;
_timer.Start();

conn.Open();
WriteLog.Parameters.AddWithValue("Event", Event);
WriteLog.Parameters.AddWithValue("DoneBy", DoneBy);
