I like to install a NT service running on a special user account. I ask for the user account / password in a special dialog. Whats the best way to check if the user account is existing on the local machine ?

Hi,
You can write C code to call NetUserGetInfo function to detect the user account on the local computer. See information about this function in MSDN.
Good luck!

Thank You for Your response. I hoped that I could avoid writing C-code for the setup, but it seems to be the only possibilty.

Hi,
I've written a utility for this issue. It is a commandline-app you can call:
authenticate.exe DOMAIN user pass
It will return OK or an Error-message. I currently call it using a VB-Script custom action. Mail me and I will send it to you!
Best regards,
