Azure - Installation external services fails

I followed the steps in the following document:
http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/7_0/azureguide/index.html?configuring_external_services.htm

The log tells me this:
An exception occurred while trying to find the installers in the E:\approot\SchedulerService.exe assembly.
System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.
Aborting installation for E:\approot\SchedulerService.exe.

We deploy to a Windows Server 2012 instance on Azure.
osFamily="3" osVersion="*" schemaVersion="2013-03.2.0"

I can't figure out what is breaking the installation of the service.

RE:Azure - Installation external services fails

Hello,

Have you checked whether SchedulerService.exe file is in the mentioned folder after connecting to the worker role through remote desktop?

Also, are there any errors in Event viewer -> Applications and Services Logs -> Windows Azure which could be related to this issue?

Thank you.

Best regards,
Filip Ligac

RE:Azure - Installation external services fails

Hello Filip,

No errors in the event viewer and SchedulerService.exe is there.
I tried to execute the installutil command from the command prompt on the worker role instance (remote desktop). I added the /ShowCallStack property. It comes with the following error:

Affected parameters are:
logfile = E:\approot\SchedulerService.InstallLog
webpath = E:\approot
username = RD00155D588E3F\ServiceAdmin
unattended =
logtoconsole =
assemblypath = E:\approot\SchedulerService.exe
password = ********
An exception occurred while trying to find the installers in the E:\approot\Sche
dulerService.exe assembly.
System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the
requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.
Aborting installation for E:\approot\SchedulerService.exe.

An exception occurred during the Install phase.

RE:Azure - Installation external services fails

The service is running on the SmartSearchWorker instance. But in scheduled tasks I see this warning for tasks that use the external service option:

The scheduled tasks that are configured to use an external service now show the warning:
This task is configured to be processed by Kentico CMS Scheduler external Windows service. It has not been executed for a long time period. Therefore, please make sure that the external service is running.
