I did some more digging and found out that: (1) Our .wxs does use the ServiceInstall element, with values for Account and Password provided via external octopus-driven config;
(2) Despite specifying these values, the service still runs as "SystemLocal"; (3) I'm not sure what password to specify to get the service installed on an arbitrary system to run as NT AUTHORITY\NETWORKSERVICE. I'd think that running the installer with admin privs should be enough. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Walton Sent: Friday, September 15, 2006 6:22 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] installing service to run as a particular user hi Can anybody provide an working example of using the ServiceInstall element including the custom actions. I have tryed but cannot get it working. I can create the msi but it fails. If I had a simple one that worked, I might be able to find where I'm going wrong (see Topic "ServiceInstall element, how to get it working" - 13 Sep) Dave. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
