Hi, I am currently trying to get my service started as a part of MSI install and am unable to do so. In the event viewer, I see the following error:
Product: Myservice Cache Service -- Error 1920. Service ' Myservice ' (Myservice) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. However, I am logged in as admin. Also, if I simply install the service and start the service manually, I am able to do that. I appreciate any input to help me figure out what I might be doing wrong or missing. One additional data about my service is: I am trying to install the service under account NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE (Property SERVICEACCOUNT = 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE' below) Thanks a lot for your help.
