Oh sorry, I misunderstood, I have this:
<Condition Message="You must be an administrator to install this product.">
Privileged
</Condition>
I have managed to resolve the issue, it turns out that for this project the services don't even have to be started! I did however manage to get it to work with a custom action that ran a batchfile.. Tastes like fudge.
Thanks for all the help anyway y'all, I love it when problems fix themselves..
Simon

It's just a property. Create it like you would any other. What it will do is enforce you to have administrative rights in order to run the installer. I suggested it because if that worked then it would definitely be just a rights issue, instead of some setting being wrong.

Hello all,
Apologies for the vague subject, but I couldn't think of anything which better described the problems I'm having :)
I have the following [0] wxs file, which builds fine (is that even the term for candle && light?) the intention being to create a desktop shortcut for deployment via AD. However, when attempting to run (msiexec /i MySample.msi) it fails straight away with Error 2727.
Could anyone suggest what may cause this? Any ideas what I've done wrong? - I know it'll be user error, but we all start somewhere..
Thanks guys, WiX looks like a great product!,

According to the docs the errors means
The directory entry '[2]' does not exist in the Directory table.
As for what '[2]' is, you'd have to look in the Windows event log or log the install.
I find this link handy for working out what obscure error numbers mean.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the information - I was expecting an error regarding the DesktopFolder, but instead got this:
"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2727. The arguments are: WindowsFolder, , "
Any thoughts as to the cause ?

Neat. Consider it bookmarked :)

Dave

Hi all,
Is it possible to have wix add an existing user to a local NT group, only if the local NT group exists? (I don't want to create the group if it doesn't exist)
I suspect that I need to do this in it's own component using a condition node. What condition can I check for?
There is no GroupSearch node, is this what I need?
I don't really want to have to do this in a custom helper library if I can avoid it.
Thanks in advance,
Jack Hanison
