Prob Installing vb.net service on win2k Server

hi,
I'm having a problem installing a service created in vb.net 2003 on a
windows 2000 server. I have installed the service on a few XP machines with
out any problems...but the 2 servers (win 2000 server sp4) I have triend
have the same error (both are on diffrent domains and have framework v1.1
installed; 1 is a domain controler, the other is not)

An exception occurred during the Install phase.
System.Componen tModel.Win32Exc eption: The account name is invalid or does
not exist, or the password is invalid for the account name specified

The logged in user has local and network admin rights; i have found a
few posts that just suggest to use a diffrent username when prompted....but
i never get a prompt to try a diffrent user

I installed the service from a command prmpt using installutil.exe ; below is
the entire output of the install.
Thanks for any help in advance,

Jason

Under the properties of your ServiceProcessI nstaller you can specify the
Account the login with. If you choose User and don't specify a
Username/password you'll be prompted at install time.

Installing .Net Compiler on Win2K -- Upgrade Question

by: Steven O. | last post by:

I am considering installing the .Net IDE and Compiler on my Win2K system. However, a friend tells me that since I have Win2K SP3, the ..Net installation software will, in essence, insist on first upgrading my system to SP4. Is this correct? This is a problem, because I've found in the past that with SP4 installed, Win2K runs slow as a sloth. (I had to rebuild my system, sticking with SP3.) So, please advise if this is, in fact the...

Installing VS6 After VS.Net 2003

by: Gerald Hernandez | last post by:

One of my development PC's died, and I need to have legacy VS and VS.Net installed at the same time. On the now dead PC, I had VS6 installed prior to installing VS.Net. This worked just fine. On my working PC, I already have VS.Net installed, but not VS6. My question, will installing the older VS6 with VS.Net already installed give me problems with VS.Net. Or should I first remove the VS.Net, install VS6, then re-install VS.Net? Gerald

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
