Installing a .Net 2 weindows service on Windows 8

Hi there,

I'm trying to install this service that works fine on win7, but i get this error when installing on Windows 8, anyone has an idea?

I have both tried to use .net 2 and 4 getting the same result and i have UAC turned off:

Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Installation utility Version 2.0.50727.6387
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Running a transacted installation.

Beginning the Install phase of the installation.
See the contents of the log file for the Agent.exe assembly's progress.
The file is located at Agent.InstallLog.
Installing assembly 'Agent.exe'.
Affected parameters are:
logtoconsole =
assemblypath = Agent.exe
logfile = Agent.InstallLog

An exception occurred during the Install phase.
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: No mapping between account names and security IDs was carried out

Make sure in Windows 8 Programs and Features, Windows Features, that .NET 3.5 and .NET 4 are selected. .NET 2 comes with that and should work in Windows 8.

Go to

http://cid-27e6a35d1a492af7.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Blog%7C_Tools/netfx%7C_setupverifier%7C_new.zip

and download .NET Setup Verifier and run it (no install needed). Check all versions of .NET from 2 to 4.5 and make sure they are working.

Hi there thanks for you swift response.

I tried validating .Net it all look fine, as it should because it's a fresh Win 8 install.

Any other ideas?

Are you trying to install .net 2 and which software or service you are installing.

If your .NET is all fine on Windows 8, then the service must not be upwardly compatible somehow. Can you get a new copy of the service?

Normally I would agree, but as this service installs fine in Win7, I would expect it to also Work in Win 8....but that was not the case.

Guess I will have to try to rebuild the service on my win 8 box and see if that helps.

There are a few deep network/structural things that work with Windows 7 and do not work with Windows 8, so this is probably one of them.
