VB.net TCPListner windows service - vb.net

Question

I'm trying to build a windows service tcpip server to install on some computer to be able to send messages to them...
The following code is working perfectly if I run it as a normal windows application but if I use it to create a windows service it doesn't run as expected.
Throught the Visual studio "attach debug" I can see the debug and every time I send a request from the client I see this:
The thread 0xf34 has exited with code 259 (0x103).
That means the thread was entered but no output, or console.write...
Imports System
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Threading
Public Class Main
Private serverSocket As TcpListener
Private Delegate Sub WriteMessageDelegate(ByVal msg As String)
Dim listenThread As New Thread(New ThreadStart(AddressOf ListenForClients))
Private Sub ListenForClients()
serverSocket = New TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, 11000)
serverSocket.Start()
Console.WriteLine("Listen for clients...")
While True 'blocks until a client has connected to the server
Dim client As TcpClient = Me.serverSocket.AcceptTcpClient()
Dim clientThread As New Thread(New ParameterizedThreadStart(AddressOf HandleClientComm))
clientThread.Start(client)
End While
End Sub
Private Sub HandleClientComm(ByVal client As Object)
Dim tcpClient As TcpClient = DirectCast(client, TcpClient)
Dim clientStream As NetworkStream = tcpClient.GetStream()
Dim message As Byte() = New Byte(4095) {}
Dim bytesRead As Integer
Console.WriteLine("Handle client comm...")
While True
bytesRead = 0
bytesRead = clientStream.Read(message, 0, 4096) 'blocks until a client sends a message
If bytesRead = 0 Then
Exit While 'the client has disconnected from the server
End If
'message has successfully been received
'Dim encoder As New ASCIIEncoding()
'Dim serverResponse As String = "Response to send"
'Dim sendBytes As [Byte]() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(serverResponse)
'clientStream.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length)
Console.WriteLine(bytesRead)
'message has successfully been received
Dim encoder As New ASCIIEncoding()
' Convert the Bytes received to a string and display it on the Server Screen
Dim msg As String = encoder.GetString(message, 0, bytesRead)
Console.WriteLine(msg)
'WriteMessage(msg)
End While
tcpClient.Close()
End Sub
Private Function BytesToString(
ByVal bytes() As Byte) As String
Return Encoding.Default.GetString(bytes)
End Function
Private Sub WriteMessage(ByVal msg As String)
If Me.MessagesLog.InvokeRequired Then
Dim d As New WriteMessageDelegate(AddressOf WriteMessage)
Me.MessagesLog.Invoke(d, New Object() {msg})
Else
Me.MessagesLog.AppendText(msg & Environment.NewLine)
End If
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
listenThread.Start()
Console.WriteLine("Starting...")
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnStop()
' Add code here to perform any tear-down necessary to stop your service.
'listenThread.Abort()
End Sub
End Class
Can someone help me?

Found the problem...
Windows services dont do output to console.write()... it has to be with debug.print()
"The Thread..." output is normal..
Thank you,
