I have a windows service that I have to login into every time its reinstalled is there some way I can get it to automatically use the account I am using instead of the Local Service account.

thanks

If you right click on the service design area and choose Add Installer then Visual Studio should add a ProjectInstaller class with two components. The serviceProcessInstaller component has properties which govern the default user to install the service as, LocalService, NetworkService, LocalSystem or User. User should do what you are after.
