#1 Impossible installation of RunAsService

[Anonymous]

Dear developper

I tryed to install your software on a Windows2000
server machine. I have an Administrator Account on
this machine with a Valid user name and no password.
When installation process starts, a message box
appears with the error message: invalid user name or
password, installation process can't continue. Any idea ?

Hi,
This is probably caused by the use of the LocalService account.
It has minimum privileges on the local computer and presents
anonymous credentials on the network.
But it is not available on Win2000 systems, so thank you for
submitting this bug, I'll fix it soon and post an update.

Code is changed to use the LocalSystem account during
installation.
Afterwards it is always possible to change these settings in
the services control panel applet.
In a future release, I will add code that allows the
selection of the account during installation.
The fix is available in release RunAsService-0.9.2, which is
tested on Win2k Advanced Server edition.
