Problem with 1.1-based service on 2.0 box...

Hi, all.

I have written a .NET 1.1 based System Service which installs and runs
perfectly on my intended target host (another .NET 1.1 box). However,
I've discovered that one user is having trouble installing it on a box
with .NET 2.0.

Now, for a normal (non-service) app, I know you could write a config
file to force the .NET version desired. But I don't know the procedure
for the installation of a service. The installutil run by this user
(that I can't see) fails after asking for authentication credentials.

Are there any special steps I should take to allow this service to run
against .NET 2.0?

Appreciate any suggestions. The installutil runs against this service
executable just fine on other 1.1 targets...just this 2.0 box is
causing problems.

Thanks,
