VB.NET Windows Service Problem

[kleptos]

I recently created a Windows Service from the default template in VB.NET. All went well, i created the service, the installer, now when i go to install it, i get a username and password and it never asked for one, and wont install the service unless i give it the right one, any ideas how to disable this?

I'm sure you might already know this but to install a service on a NT-based system you'll need the admin password to allow it to install the service.

Actually I fixed the problem, there is a setting in VB.NET that sets the service type, either to a user or the system, it its set to user you need to enter DOMAIN\UserName, for system it wont ask. So i set it to system and it works fine.

Ah, so it allows for you to set it as system.
Thx.

There are actually 4 settings, user, local system, local service and something else. Local System is what i used, and no password was needed. User was the one that asked for a password.
