I have a windows service that I was wondering if it is possible to display a custom error dialog if a user attemts to start the service exe from the command line by accident. As of now is shows "cannot start service from the command line or a debugger bla bla bla". Can this be avoided, maybe just start the main program instead?

In order for the service to start another program, the service would have to start. And as you stated, the service can't start in this situation.
