Are you sure about that?  Running as Local System is almost always a
security hole and the wrong thing to do.

That begs the question of what is the right thing to do?  IMO, the
right thing to do is to create a user that has just enough permissions
to do what's needed and no more.  This user is configured to not allow
interactive logins so that only your configured components can run as
this user.  When your product is removed, you remove the user as well.
