Zabbix agent : Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"

I got this error message while installing Zabbix 2.0 agent to one of my Windows 2008 servers.

"Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"

My first reaction was thinking about the wrong timing of this. Then I remarked the .conf file which was inside the Windows agent package that I downloaded has been named as zabbix_agentd.win.conf , but the zabbix process was searching the zabbix_agentd.conf file.

 I was registered the zabbix service with the zabbix_agentd.win.conf file. That was making this shit. After using the correct conf file ( zabbix_agentd.win.conf ), the problem has been solved.

 Microsoft has also published a KB file, about this kind of service problems. Here is the link :

    Hello, how did you solve it? My windows 10 pro 64bit also gave the same problem.

    I was able to solve the issue doing the above steps. I just moved the file to the directory that the servie wanted it to be at
