Alright, I think I've distilled this down to the fact that he's having a 
hard time with Service#configure:

serv = Service.new

# This fails
serv.configure_service{ |s|
   s.service_name = "WebrickSvc"
   s.start_name = "NT AUTHORITY\\LocalService"
}

# This works fine
serv.configure_service{ |s|
   s.service_name = "WebrickSvc"
   s.start_name = "LocalSystem"
}

Does the former require a password?  I read the docs on 
lpServiceStartName in ChangeServiceConfig(), but no luck.//
