I am trying to install a service via the deployment agent. I am trying to define the user that should be running the service, is it possible to do with some environment variable?

    Hi Thomas,

    Currently the service is installed under Local System. I assume that user account should already exist on the server and be allowed to run a service?

    Thomas,

    With the latest Dpeloyment Agent update we added two new settings for Windows services: service_username and service_password to set custom user account to run service under: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/deployment/agent#deploying-artifact-pa...
