Description

When trying to install mongodb community server in windows using MSI installer, we faced the following issue.

In Service Configuration page, by mistake we selected 'Run service as a local or domain user' and pressed Next button.
We did not give any value in Account Name and Account Password, so it was showing the error window 'The domain, user name and/or password are incorrect'.
Immediately we selected the other option 'Run service as Network Service User', but still we are getting the same error window.
We had to close the installer and re-run it to install the Mongo Server.
