Hi!

I use a user name and a password when I logg in to my personel computer.
I have set Account to User in the property for ServiceProcessInstaller.
My assembly for this service is called MonitorWebSite.exe

When I install the service I use installutit /i MonitorWebSite.exe
When I do this I get a small dialog with three textboxes.
The first one is where I enter the username.
The second is where I enter the password.
The third is where I confirm the password.

I use the same username and password in this small dialog as I do when I
logg in
but here I get an error it says
An exception occurred during installation
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The accountname does not exist or is
invalid
or is the given password not valid for this account name

I know that this account and password is correct because I use them when I
logg in to the computer.

So my question is why can't I use the same username and password as I do
when I logg in to the computer ?

//Tony

This does not sound particular C# related ...

Can it be that you need to specify domain YOURDOMAIN\yourusername ?

Have you verified that this User has the "Log On as a Service"
permission?
