AW: [DOTNET] NT Service Installation problems.

I had the same problem and looked for a solution for days. Here is what I
finally did to change the account from LocalSystem to user:
- Install NT4 Resource Kit
- Run the following command:
SC.EXE config <ServiceName> OBJ= <Domain>\<User> PASSWORD= <Password> TYPE=
OWN
(spaces after "=" are important)

Hope that helps...
Regards,
Urs

Unfortunately I'm running NT 4 (yep technology leaders here) and It seems
that after the install I'm unable to modify the account info from the
service manager?

The only way I have been able to get around this issue was to set the
installer to install using the LocalSystem account, and then change to a
specific user using the Service Manager MMC console.  This was an
acknowledged bug during the beta phase, and it looks like the bug still
exists in the RTM.
