Subject: Win32 Service Logon Failure

Hi Guys,

I desperately need help with this as I can't understand why it is
working.

I am trying to create windows service using win32/service with a
specific user login. I have provided the username and password correctly
in my ruby script.

Essentially, when i run the script below it successfully creates the
service. But fails to start saying "Logon Failure"  message. However,
if I go to the windows service window (services.msc) and right click
service and then go to properties->Log On and enter the same password
and then start the service it all works fine.
Please help if you have ever encounter this before? I do not understand
what is going on. (I am logged in as Adminstrator when I run this
script)

myService.ruby
------------------------------------------------------------------------

require "win32/service"
include Win32

Service.create("MyService", nil,
      :description        => "My Ruby Service",
      :start_type         => Service::AUTO_START,
      :error_control      => Service::ERROR_NORMAL,
      :binary_path_name   => "C:\myService.exe",
      :display_name       => "MyService",
      :service_start_name => "domain\\myUser",
      :password           => "myPass",
      :service_type=> Service::SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
      )


Service.start("MyService")
