Using InstallUtil and silently setting a windows service logon username/password

Question

I need to use InstallUtil to install a C# windows service. I need to set the service logon credentials (username and password). All of this needs to be done silently.

You can also force your service to run as User using ServiceProcessInstaller::Account = ServiceAccount.User;

A popup asking "[domain\]user, password" will appear during service installation.

public class MyServiceInstaller : Installer
{
    /// Public Constructor for WindowsServiceInstaller
    public MyServiceInstaller()
    {
        ServiceProcessInstaller serviceProcessInstaller = new ServiceProcessInstaller();
        ServiceInstaller serviceInstaller = new ServiceInstaller();

        //# Service Account Information
        serviceProcessInstaller.Account = ServiceAccount.User; // and not LocalSystem;
     ....
