The only thing I can think of is that if you specify the user account, and then
as part of the MSI try and start the service, if the service start fails, I
think the installer fails too. (not a very good check, I know).

There are quite a few variations on this which can present some obstacles. Not
sure how much control you have over the users that will be installing your
package, but we had none.
1. Machine is on the domain and you pass in a domain account
2. Machine is not on the domain and you try to pass in a domain account
3. Machine is on the domain and you pass in a domain account that isn't part of
the local user or admin groups
4. Machine is on the domain but the person doing the install tries to pass in a
local non-domain account.
After many attempts to cover all the bases we finally decided to set our
services to LocalSystem and then have the user change this as a post-install
step. Makes the install a bit cleaner, too. Less dialogs the user has to be
concerned with.

Hi,
I have a setup dialog asking user name, domain and password for using it as a
service account. Is there any way I can verify this info by actually attempting
to log-on?
Thanks,
Sunghwa
