Run service as specified user

[sunaj]

Hi,

I've followed the steps in

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...kthroughcreatingwindowsserviceapplication.asp

to create a windows service. If I run the service as 'LocalService' as suggested in the walkthrough, I get an 'JIT compile error - access denied' when I start the service. I could probably fix that with some framework security settings. If I run it as 'LocalSystem' it works fine. What I really want to do it run it as 'User'. If I do that, I'm prompted for the user name and password during installation of the service. However, I get 'The account name is invalid og invalid password ...' when I type the password. I've tried with both a local user and a domain user. Both users are local administrators.
If anybody has any suggestions to how to dig into the problem, please shoot...

thx in advance.

Problem solved. I did not supply the domain, which is mandatory.
You can also hardcode the user into the projectinstaller's constructor:

public ProjectInstaller(){
    // This call is required by the Designer.
    InitializeComponent();
    serviceProcessInstaller1.Account = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceAccount.User;
    serviceProcessInstaller1.Username = @"DOMAIN\username";
    serviceProcessInstaller1.Password = "pwd";
}
