Service Account and trailing spaces

On the Service properties page the Service Account username and password input fields are not trimmed or validated.

I used copy/paste to enter the username, but inadvertently copied a trailing space wih it. Of course the installation of the service failed, but it took me almost a day to find out that the failure was caused by this trailing space. :cry: I entered the following username: "[DOMAIN_NAME]\[USER_NAME] " (without the double quotes). The Account Dialog was used to get the DOMAIN_NAME and USER_NAME.

Please consider trimming input data for username and password fields, because a username and password cannot have a trailing space. An error popup signaling invalid input would have been sufficient too.

Best regards,

Bart

Hi Bart,

Thank you for your feedback and for bringing this to our attention. I have added an improvement on our TODO list and the development team will include it in a future version of Advanced Installer.

All the best,
