service installer problem

[bedrock]

ive been developing a service that up to this point has been run under the local system account. im now trying to run this service as a user account for several reasons. my problem is that when i am prompted for a username and password during installation, i am never allowed to install, telling me the account name or password is not valid. this seems to be the case for every account on the machine. can someone think of what is interfering here?

what we see depends mainly on what we look for.

i modified the generated code from vs and hard-coded my username and password into the service. i now get the following error:

"no mapping between account names and security IDs was done"

anyone run into this before?

Have you included the sdomain in the username? It has to be "yourDomain\yourUser".
