POS2009 Offline Service Unable to install

Hi, I have a MS POS 2009, using a register and a main computer where the database reside. I can connect the register to the main database with no problems. On the main computer, I activated the offline database. However when I run the offline wizard on the register, I keep getting the following error message: unable to install the Offline service. I even tried using installutil to install but it tells me it can not install.

Please help

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance in advance

: Jeff, thanks for the reply. Maybe my message was unclear. In order to be able to activate an offline POS machine (register), you have to first run the offline wizard on the main computer to set the password. After completing the main computer offline wizard. You will then run the wizard on the register POS computer for it to create the offline database on it using the password you created on the main computer

My issue: when I try to run the wizard on the register POS computer, it is unable to complete the setup because it is unable to install the offline sync service.(see log below). I also tried manually installing the POSOfflineService.exe file using "Installutil.exe" cmd but I still run into error related to the username and password mapping.

OFFLINE SETUP LOG: "Installing assembly 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft Dynamics - Point of SalePOSOfflineService.exe'. Affected parameters are: logtoconsole assemblypath = C:Program FilesMicrosoft Dynamics - Point of SalePOSOfflineService.exe logfile = C:Program FilesMicrosoft Dynamics - Point of SalePOSOfflineService.InstallLog Rolling back assembly 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft Dynamics - Point of SalePOSOfflineService.exe'. Affected parameters are: logtoconsole assemblypath = C:Program FilesMicrosoft Dynamics - Point of SalePOSOfflineService.exe logfile = C:Program FilesMicrosoft Dynamics - Point of SalePOSOfflineService.InstallLog"
