Hi

I have a vb.net service app which I have set to run as user. When I try to
install the service via InstallUtil, I provide user/pass for the
administrator but the service fails to install. I have received the
following two messages on two separate occasions;

An exception occurred during the Install phase.
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: No mapping between account names and
security IDs was done

and

An exception occurred during the Install phase.
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The account name is invalid or does
not exist, or the password is invalid for the account name specified

What is the problem and how can I solve it? The reason I am trying to
install the service as administrator is that the service can not open an
access db from a shared network drive if the service runs as LocalSystem.

Thanks

Regards
