[WiX-users] GenericRead doesn't work in FileSharePermission

2008-08-05 Thread Richard Ho (Insight Global)
I try to assign GenericRead in FileSharePermission. Somehow it doesn't work. It would create the acct over the share only. However GenericAll works fine. Is it a bug in WIX? Thanks, Richard

I'm attempting to install a service and receiving the dreaded "1923" error. Along with the service I'm also creating the user that the service will "log on as" in the same install. I then assign the created account and password to my service. The confusing part (to me) is that if I run the instal

You're probably facing the same issue I did.. There's currently a bug that binder variables need the fully modularized id in merge modules. I don't know if there's a way to pass this in to SnapIn extension, but you can try modularizing the file key yourself as a workaround. Chris On Tue, Aug 5,
