Stephen Did you get a fix for this? I have the same/similar issue installing services using the network service account on German machines, and machines in Belgium with French as the language.
I am however, using WIX to provide the service start/stop code: <ServiceInstall Id="DataServiceInstaller" Type="ownProcess" Name="$(var.Service.TargetName)" Description="!(loc.DS_SVCINST_DESCRIPTION)" ErrorControl="normal" Start="auto" Account="[WIX_ACCOUNT_NETWORKSERVICE]"/> <ServiceControl Id="StartWixDataServiceInstaller" Name="$(var.Service.TargetName)" Start="install" Wait="no" /> <ServiceControl Id="StopWixDataServiceInstaller" Name="$(var.Service.TargetName)" Stop="both" Wait="yes" Remove="uninstall" /> The thing I find really odd, is that the service accounts are being translated into German/French, it's just that they will not run after install. Then if you manually set the service accounts, the case of the account names shown in the Services MMC changes and the services then run fine. Cheers.
