How to install and start a Windows Service under NetworkService account by using WiX?

Question

I am trying to create a wix installer to install and start a Windows Service under NetworkService account, but failed, what I got is "Service"() could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services."

Please advice, my code is as below:

<Component Id="service" Guid='myguid'>
          <File Id='JobServiceEXE' Name='JobService.exe' DiskId='1' Source='mypath\JobService.exe' KeyPath='yes' />
          <ServiceControl Id="JobService" Name="[SERVICEID]" Stop="uninstall" Remove="uninstall" Wait="yes" />
          <ServiceInstall
          Id="JobService" Name="[SERVICEID]" DisplayName="[SERVICENAME]" Type="ownProcess"  Start="auto" ErrorControl="normal" Vital ='yes'
          Account="NT Authority\NetworkService"
          Description="Job Service" />
        </Component>

Thank you!

Paul's response is not correct. As per MSDN documentation, to specify the Network Service account, use "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE":

...the name of the account must be

NT AUTHORITY\NETWORKSERVICE

when you call CreateService or ChangeServiceConfig, regardless of the locale...

Set the property "ALLUSERS" to force an Administrator install.
