Two questions.
1) I followed Walkthrough of Win Service App. At the end, when I run Setup
it complains about incorrect user and/or password. Where does it look for
userid? I have logged in as Administrator.

2) Why cannot I install the service with ServiceName.exe /install command as
I do for non-dotNet service?

Thanks for your help.

1) If by "complain about the account" you mean it's asking you for one at
install time, you've probably got the Account property set to User:

2) No answer to this except that they're not built that way.
