On Win11 - error on install as service

Post by EricKS »

Sometimes in life one feels like an idiot. this is one of them.

I had installed Reflector as a service under my local ID on Win 10. Applied upgrades just fine. Then I migrated to Win 11. All the user name / logins changed. When installing Reflector i get this message:

Granting the user account "XXXX-PC" the privilege to log in as a service...
Couldn't grant the user "XXXX-PC" the privilege to log in as a service: Cannot look up the account name. Windows error 1332
Installing the main service...
Couldn't install the main service The account name is invalid or does not exist, or the password is invalid for the account name specified.

I used to put XXXX-PC (as that still is my local machine) and password in the install window. I would guess Win 11 has altered something in the signon, but for the life of me don't know what that would be.

I could use a bit of Win11 training if someone is up to it.

Thanks, Eric

The dialog is asking for your user name, not for your machine name.
