It sounds like your service isn't configured as a service.

ATL services have the somewhat weird option of being registered either as
regular out-of-process COM servers (with /regserver) or as services (with
/service) - which did you do?

Also, I believe you need to register your class objects with the
REGCLS_MULTIPLEUSE flag (see call to _Module.RegisterClassObjects)
