Configuring Services after install

[Jonny_B]

Does anyone know if you can configure a service after it has been installed? I need to install this service using my installer, but then after I need to configure it as a user service, which requires a user name and password (which won't be given until after the install).

I am thinking that this is most likely going to have to be done through code ... does anyone know if there is a new API in .net 2.0 that allows you to do this?

... figured it out ... you need to use the System.Management. I can post the code if anyone needs it.

Yes please. I am trying to set the username and password of an NT service during installation.

I think you can do that through Installshield if you have the user name and password? I have the code to do it through C# after the install
