Hello,
I've written several programs that can be installed as a service (using the
NTSCV.OCX for those who care) and have had no problems.

This time I would like to install it by using an account other than the
LocalSystem account.

I can create the proper user and set the rights for log on As a Service.

I would like a way to programmatically change its properties to use the
account I created. At the very least, I would like to automatically open the
Service property window.
And if anybody knows how to do it directly from the ntscv.ocx, that would be
even better.

Thanks to all

Sal

The NTSVC control has Account and Password properties sal. Have you tried
using them yet?

For instance, NTService1.Account = "domain\name" or NTService1.Account =
".\localaccount"

Actually I did.
However, after your reply, I told myself that I must have been doing
something wrong.
Indeed, the Interactive property was being set to true in my code (it was at
False at design time), which is of course incompatible with the usage of a
LocalAccount.
Setting it to False fixed my problem.

Thanks Tony for the gentle reminder. I deserved more of a kick in the
pants....
