Install a service

[Guest]

Hi,

I wrote an application as a windows service, then when I tried to install it use installutil.exe I kept on getting follow error messages:
An exception occurred during the Install phase.
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: No mapping between account names and security IDs was done

I have a user account on that machine and it is in the administrators user group

now what else do I miss? which account the installutil is looking for?

Thanks for the help

Michael

in the Projectinstaller class's Initialize component you need to set the Account property for the ServiceProcessInstalle

e.g. VB.NE

Private Sub InitializeComponent(
Me.ServiceProcessInstaller1 = New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceProcessInstalle
Me.ServiceInstaller1 = New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceInstalle

'ServiceProcessInstaller

Me.ServiceProcessInstaller1.Account = ServiceProcess.ServiceAccount.LocalSyste
Me.ServiceProcessInstaller1.Password = Nothin
Me.ServiceProcessInstaller1.Username = Nothin

'ServiceInstaller

Me.ServiceInstaller1.ServiceName = "<yourservicename>
Me.ServiceInstaller1.DisplayName = "<your service display name>

'ProjectInstalle

Me.Installers.AddRange(New System.Configuration.Install.Installer() {Me.ServiceProcessInstaller1, Me.ServiceInstaller1}

End Su
