I have an application that can be run as an application and as a service. This application reads a configuration file (xml) file for its configuration upon starting up. When I run it as an application, it works fine. When I run it as a service, It can not read the configuration file.

I have tried allowing the service account to interact with desktop, assigning administrator to the service, creating a new account and then going in and giving it everything under the sun that I could see possible relating to security using the Group Policy object through MMC. No matter what I try, my service can not see the file. Is there anything that I am missing as it relates to Operating System Secuirty that is keeping my service from reading in that file?

When running the service as "local system account"what rights does system have to the executable and to the XML config file? Are any errors posted in your event log?
