Install service with Network Service account

[dominikweber]

Hi,

i want to install a service to use the Network Service account. Is there a variable that contains the localized username of this windows user account? If I just enter "Network Service" the setup fails on my german windows installation.
thanks,

Dominik

Hey Dominik,

Where are you entering this information? Could you please attach a screenshot?

i don't know what to type into the "account name" field of the install service window (i want to use the network service user).

hi,

i think i found it out: i used "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService" which seems to work.

giaviv: couldn't open your link, it says "Sorry this page is unavailable. Please try again later.", but thanks anyway.
