Command line username and password to run the service as

[gregor suttie]

I can install and stop my service as expected, but when I install it using a username and password, the service starts but reverts back to Local System

Here is how I am trying to install my service in powershell:-

& $exePath install start -instance:AUS -username:$ServiceUserName -password:$ServiceUserPWD

As I said the service does start but its ignoring the username and password I supply, any ideas?

Thanks

Gregor

i want to say its two dashes - but that is reaching for into the memory banks. :) Nope, I'm wrong. :( https://github.com/Topshelf/Topshelf/blob/develop/src/Topshelf/HelpText.txt#L18

try -username "username" instead of -username:USERNAME

-d

Remove the "start" before the arguments, you're confusing the command line.

install -instance -username -password 

If you add start AT THE END of the command line it will start the service as well. If you don't want the service started immediately after being installed, remove the start completely.
