Hello,

I'm building a windows service that retrieves information about diferent hardware, and after that it stores the information in a database, right now that part is done and im trying to install that service in diferent computers, and i wanted to know if the little window that pops up during the installation, called Set Service login, is possible to set some default values in those textboxes.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards.

I have tried that, but still having the same problem, the message box still appears in the installation with empty textboxes, i have thought about one of two solution, either manipulate that message box in order to show up with some values already typed, or already defined username and password in the code.

Solution 1

I believe you can do it by modifying your ProjectInstaller.Designer.cs file and modifying the following lines in the InitializeComponent method:

C#

this.serviceProcessInstaller1.Password = null;
this.serviceProcessInstaller1.Username = null;

OP's comment:
"Thanks for the reply, but i have done that, and the window still pops up empty,
i really wanted to have some default values in the textboxes but at the same time be able to change those values."
