How to resolve Error 26005: Could not start IMA Service in CTX_MF_IMA_StartIMAService State = 1

On Windows 2003 Server, you may get this error during Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 installation.
Citrix is aware of this error and posted an article about this error. But...this article on Citrix does not help at all. It does not give a resolution that works.

So how did I work around this problem manually?

Simple, just pause the installation immediately after the installation process says installing SNMP agent for Resource Manager. Then launch the Service Manager (services.msc) and you will see a service named "Citrix Independent Management Architecture". Change the logon account of this service to "Local System" from "Network Service". Then resume the installation.

I do not know what this Network Service account is.

And if you want to deploy this to multiple servers then I guess just author a Windows Installer transform to modify the installation so that the server will use "Local System". I think that's it but I have to explore more about this approach...
