Hi!

I perform installutil <myservice> and get the following error

******************************************************************
An exception occurred during the Install phase.
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The account name is invalid or does
not ex
ist, or the password is invalid for the account name specified
******************************************************************

I am logged on as an administrator (member of local Administrators
workgroup). Permissions for the <myservice>.exe file include full control
for Local Administrators, System, and the particular user I am logged on as.

The project was created on another computer some time ago and worked fine
there.
The computer where the project was created was XP, Visual Studio .NET (not
2003, the very first one). (the version of .NET framework was 1.0.something
if I am mistaking)

My current computer where I am currently having problems is 2000 with .NET
Framework 1.1, SDK. (the version of the framework is 1.1.4322)

I have built the project from source code on this particular computer where
I am trying to run it.

I have actually ran out of ideas what else should I check to make it work.
If you have one - please write.

Thank you.
