I installed Windows 8 on my home development machine some days ago. When installing a service by using installutil.exe I'm asked for logon credentials.

Which credentials should I use here, as I'm logged on using my Windows live ID. Of course I can create a local Windows profile just for that, but my clients will ask this question too, sooner or later.

When using my Windows Live ID (using my email address or the "local" username ms_001 as the logon name) I get the error:

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access denied
