Error that occurs when trying to install onto a machine that only has the Framework installed:

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The account name is invalid or does not exist, or the password is invalid for the account name specified

But I am logged in as the local admin. Plus, I do not see an option in Installutil where you can specify login parameters.

Has anyone got passed this error?

May be i can Help...

I am getting this exact same error. Has anyone found a solution to this yet?

use machinename/username form when prompted for account information

change the account parameter of your declared variable of ServiceProcessInstaller to use localsystem.

i.e. in C#

private System.ServiceProcess.ServiceProcessInstaller serviceProcessInstaller1;
this.serviceProcessInstaller1.Account = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceAccount.LocalSystem;

if you change the parameters in the designer, the code is automatically added to the "InitializeComponent" method of the project installer class.
