Answer 1

Use LocalSystem Account instead of LocalService Account in Service Installer.

You can do this either from doing below change in design view of your service installer:
Properties of Service Process Installer -> Set Account to LocalSystem.

or by doing below change in in designer.cs file of your service installer:

this.serviceProcessInstaller1.Account = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceAccount.LocalSystem;
