I have a simple windows service that was created in vs2005, it uses the
FileSystemWatcher class to watch for directory changes, and if an error
occurs it logs it to the event log. I have used the new Resources
designer to define a few common errors I would like to write to the
event log.

Other than my machine, all clients that are testing are getting the
MissingManifestResourceException that is being written to the eventlog,

System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException: Could not
find...Make sure"SOXFileSysProperties.Resources.resources" was
correctly embedded or linked into assembly "SOXFileSysWatcher" at
compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are
loadable and fully signed. etc.....

I have signed my app, ran against FXCop to ensure all requirements are
being used.

I have a few lines in try/catch that will write as follows

catch(MissingMemberException mme)
{
eventLog1.WriteEntry(string.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture,
"{0}{1}{2}", mme.ToString(), Environment.NewLine,
SOXFileSysWatcher.Properties.Resources.HelpString),
EventLogEntryType.Error);
}

BTW any good reference sites for Windows Service writing, seen
Windowsforms.net, asp.net, etc... but can't seem to find anything
dedicated to windows services, i.e. WindowsServices.net

Thanks for your help
