Error on install

Post by Graham »

I get ...

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 have made several attempts and I am sure that the credentials are correct. I allow the installation to complete and use ... Tools -> Service and application control ... using the exact same credentials and the service starts correctly.

Is the password empty? Are you using the Domain\user notation?

Aha! The password is not empty. I specified "username" as the user ... I will try again with "machinename/username" ... Watch this space.

Too late ... I had already tried and failed with a forward slash ... A second attempt with backslash worked correctly and as expected ... And then I saw your post ... :D Thanks.
