<p>I wrote the Windows BIND installer to install the BIND daemon
(named) as a service with minimum privileges. It creates a service
account with minimum privileges if the service account does not
already exist. It was never intended to install tools. You don't
need the installer if you only want dig. Just copy the dig.exe and
the library files (including OpenSSL) to a folder and add the
folder to your PATH environmental variable. You don't need a
service account to run any of the tools.</p>
