Not able to start the service 'Windows SharePoint Services Adminisration' in the server hosting SharePoint 2007 farm

Question

While upgrading my SharePoint 2007 farm to June 2013 CU , I saw the service ‘Windows SharePoint Services Adminisration’ was not starting. This is throwing error on every attempt of service start.

While further investigation with Microsoft, the below approach was suggested :
Back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
 Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
Locate and then select the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
Right-click Control, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
In the New Value box, type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press Enter.
Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
Click Decimal, type the number of milliseconds that you want to wait until the service times out, and then click OK.  In my case put it as 60000
(60 secs)
Exit Registry Editor and then restart the computer.
The above steps resolved my issue and the service was successfully started.
