Hello, friends,

After running cmd, trying to install a windows service written in c#.net
2005 with User account (specified in serviceProcessInstaller) by typing

installutil myWindowsService.exe

I was expecting being prompted to enter user name and password, but,
instead, I got:

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The account name is invalid or does
not exist, or the password is invalid for the account name specified

Where should I specify user name and password?

Thanks a lot.

You'll get prompted if ServiceProcessInstaller.Account is ServiceAccount
User and UserName and Password are not set, but it looks like you've set
values already for ServiceProcessInstaller UserName or Password.
