RE: xap xfx Service HUB won't install win2k server

I've no w2k to test this on but I've got a theory...

Given that you have installed the service ok on an XP box, pick up the
installed file structure, normally
"C:\Program Files\xFx\xAP Hub Windows Service\*"
and copy it to the w2k box

You can then run a manual install using the installutil.exe program that
was
installed as part of .Net 2.0, normally
"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe"

This gives you the ability to specify, on the command line, a username and
password for the service. I think the problem is that
the special account (LocalService) that the MSI installer version tries to
install with was new to XP. You may want to create
a user account specifically to run the hub service.

So the command to install would be something like:
"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe"
username=xap
password=ping "C:\Program Files\xFx\xAP Hub Windows
Service\Hub.exe"
