How can i create a services account?

Answer 1

You can create a new local user account and setup the password to never expire, add the user with whatever required permissions to accomplish your service task, then where your application requests it enter it in as computername\username (substitute actual here)

Hi,
If you subsequently restart the installation and specify the same user name but a different password, you receive a "user credentials are not valid" error.
Use operating system utilities to determine whether the user account exists on the computer. If necessary, change the password. Then continue the installation.

Hope above information can help you.
