I’m trying to install a .NET service I wrote. As recommended by MSDN, I’m using InstallUtil. But I have missed how I can set the default service user on the command-line or even in the service itself. Now, when InstallUtil is run, it will display a dialog asking the user for the credentials for a user. I’m trying to integrate the service installation into a larger install and need the service installation to remain silent.
I think I may have found it. In the service itself, the automatically created ServiceProcessInstaller component has a property ‘Account’ which can be set to ‘LocalService’, ‘LocalSystem’, ‘NetworkService’ or ‘User’. It was defaulting to ‘User’ which must have displayed the prompt.
