IIS starts the worker process for the app-pool lazy, i.e. only when there are requests to handle. So please check in Window's task manager if the w3wp.exe is running using the app-pool's identity.

Then also keep in mind that the app-pool may be shutdown if idle or be recycled according the app-pool configuration.

A standard windows-service is maybe a better fit for your application.
