I'd recommend that you also ship a forms app that asks the user once for the
credentials to use, and then enumerates the services that need configuring,
using ChangeServiceConfig for all of your services, stops them then starts
them.
You could set the ServiceProcessInstaller Account property to
ServiceAccount.User to cause the system to prompt at install time, five
times, if there are really five separate accounts involved.
