ServiceProcessInstaller.Account=User doesn't work

[greg anderson]

On a ServiceProcessInstaller, I set the account,
username, and password and I get the following exception.
I have made sure that the account exists and has
the "logon as a service" privilege.

{"No mapping between account names and security IDs was
done" }

Did you include the domain name when specifying the username?

Yes, I listed the username as .\User
It seems to be recognizing the user, because I got
past the first error, which was the username didn't have
"logon as a service" right. So I corrected that problem
(gave the user the permission), but then I ran into the next problem in
my posting which I could find no reason
for (I.e. I can create the service with the LocalSystem account, then go
in through the GUI and set the username to .\User and it will work)

Only specify Username and Password not the Account property.
Username must be in the format "serverName/username" if a local account or "domainName\username" when a domain account is used.
Note that serverName must refer to the real servername not a dot.
