Can't install Simple Windows Service - Login?
c#, windows-services
Solution
In the ProjectInstaller, set the propery Account to LocalSystem (From designer) or set following code in InitializeComponent() method
this.serviceProcessInstaller1.Account = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceAccount.LocalSystem;
Problem
I am trying to create a simple Windows Service based on this walkthrough. When I try to execute the command: ``` C:\worl\Project Alpha\Code\AlphaBackendService\AlphaBackendService\bin\Debug>ins tallutil.exe AlphaBackendService.exe ``` It presents a dialog box with username, Password, Confirm password. Nothing I enter works and the install fails. What account does it want? Why can't I just use anything I type in? IIs it because of the EventLog requiring permission: ``` public partial class AlphaBackendService : ServiceBase { public AlphaBackendService() { InitializeComponent(); if (!System.Diagnostics.EventLog.SourceExists("AlphaSource")) { System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource("AlphaSource", "AlphaLog"); } eventLog1.Source = "AlphaSource"; eventLog1.Log = "AlphaLog"; } protected override void OnStart(string[] args) { eventLog1.WriteEntry("In OnStart"); } protected override void OnStop() { eventLog1.WriteEntry("In OnStop"); } } ```
