Installing on Windows 2000  The default package originally available from IISLogs was to run as LOCAL SERVICE.  Windows 2000 doesn’t have an local machine account called LOCAL SERVICE (Only available in Windows 2003).  To get IISLogs Windows Service version installed on Windows 2000, the package you’ll need will be the one that installs by default as LOCAL SYSTEM.  After IISLogs install is complete, you can change IISLogs to run as a non-administrator.
