Description
Version 4.26
Posted by: link Date: 10:03 PM 03-10-2005 If the user logon has a password of <NULL> then the installer cannot add the service for that user, or more importantly start the service.
Applies even if the user has Admin rights on the machine.
Posted by: link Date: 10:06 PM 03-10-2005 I'm not sure that anything can be done about this. Changing Log-On to Local System Account gets around this.
Posted by: leec100 Date: 2:06 AM 04-23-2006 Surely configuring the service to use the local system account by default (when BOINC is installed) will solve this problem, and will enable the graphics by default

If I am reading the goals for the 6.x.x milestone this will be a blocking item. I am changing it's status to reflect that.

Please close as won't fix.
The reported behaviour is by design, and 6.0 will make the whole issue moot.

Closing as wontfix as requested by Didactylos.
I believe Windows requires a username and password for a service to run. Your workaround is the only way to get past this, other than setting a password on an account with admin rights and using the same password during the istall.
