"Install as system service" greyed out

Hi,

I'm trying to install WingFTP Server and uncheck the "Install as a system service" so it installs as a program because I need to set it up to use network shares for the accessible directories... however that option is greyed out during the install and I can't uncheck it. Anyone know why? Thanks.

Yes, In Windows vista/7/2008, this option will be grayed out, because in those platform, you must install it as system service to invoid Windows UAC issue.

If you want to use network resource, please check out this KB article: http://www.wftpserver.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=30, use the first solution.
