Workflow won't start with console app

My company want to run a weekly sales report every Sunday at 1am.

I setup a Document Library with a custom Excel template and attached a
workflow, programmed in Visual Studio, to fill the new spreadsheet list item
with data.

I can manually create the document and then run the workflow and everything
is fine.

I have created a console app that will run as a scheduled job. The console
app opens the Sharepoint list and successfully creates the new item. Then
code executes to run the associated workflow and document library list shows
the item is starting. After a few moments I get a "Failed On Start
(retrying)" message then I have to manually terminate the workflow.

Here are the results from the Sharepiont logs:

In the console app code I have tried many variations to get the workflow to
complete such as making the workflow run when a new item is created (thus
eliminating the console app code) and evelating privledges of the code to no
avail.
What am I missing?

I think the point error is:

10/30/2009 11:34:40.83 SalesWeeklySalesReportKickoff.e
(0x0E14) 0x0DA8 Windows SharePoint Services Workflow Infrastructure
8ncx Verbose RunWorkflow, cannot deliver events to STA thread

First, try to mark entry point with [MTAThread] (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.mtathreadattribute.aspx)

Also, I can recommend you to migrate code from console to SharePoint Job (Create a SPJobDefinition ...).

Hello,

I know this is an old post but I think I found the fix. At least the fix works for me.

My SharePoint 2010 environment is very restricted and I used a least privelege permission model. I also changed the "User Permissions for Web Application" in the CA under Application Management, Manage Web Applications (selecting the web application where you are running the workflow).

Under Site Permissions you need to make sure that the checbox for "Manage Web Site - Grants the ability to perform all administration tasks for the web site as well as manage content" is marked.

Having that box unchecked will prevent any user (including the farm account) to run any workflow.

Good Luck!
