I'm not aware of any trick required - if you can get NT AUTHORITY\LocalService into the StartName of the ServiceInstall table in the MSI file it just works (with the caveat that there are restictions on interactive or share-process services that don't allow it).

If I do not specify an account name, the service installs properly underneath the LocalSystem account. However, if I specify the LocalService account (with or without password which is supposed to be ignored by the subsystem) the service installation fails and I am prompted to roll back the installation. Is there some trick to using the LocalService account? I would like to use this account because I would like to restrict the permissions of the account the service runs underneath in order to enhance security.
