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

The "Access denied" message applies to the user trying to start the service, not the account in which the service is run.

Can you start the service from:

1. the Services Control Panel applet?
2. an elevated command prompt you started yourself (not from Visual Studio)?
