Cannot Start Windows Service in NetworkService account

Question

I have a windows service project implementation that I am trying to install as network service.

process = new ServiceProcessInstaller();
process.Account = Se         


        

Answer 1

I would check that the Network Service account has permissions to execute. Steps to check:

1. In Windows explorer go to the folder containing the binaries of the service
2. Right-click on the folder > Properties > Security tab > Edit button
3. Add > "NETWORK SERVICE" > OK
4. Give it full control (just to test and then reduce permissions till it working)
