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

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.
