If you using a domain admin account the system you are doing the install on has be part of the windows domain that you are adding the account to. If it's a local account then the problem maybe with SAM file for that system. A service account is like any other user account, typically the password does not expire and depending on what the account needs to access is what groups its a member of. >
No, that's not correct. It does not matter if you are using a domain account or a local account as long as you are an administrator on the system. The installer tries to create a local account on the system which has just one privilege: the ability to run as a service. The created account is not a member of any group by design. This becomes a problem if it is being installed on a domain controller since it has to be created as an account in the domain and the code does not handle that situation.
