Title: Message Queue Help Needed

The deferred execution stage of Windows Installer - when the installation script actually runs - runs using the local computer's LocalSystem security context. This only has the network credentials of the machine account (in an Active Directory domain) or NULL permissions (if not on a domain). You most likely don't have permission to create a remote queue using these credentials.

It's possible to make a custom action run as the user who ran the installer (Impersonate='yes', and I think this is the default - it would be helpful if the manual at wix.sourceforge.net listed what the defaults are), and this may be the case with the custom action which processes the <MessageQueue> elements, but again this user would need to have whatever permissions are necessary to create a remote message queue.

I think it would be better to make the message queue a Feature and the ability to select only that to install. Then the user would have to run the MSI on the machine that is to have the queue created.

Hi Everyone

I am using the following code to create a Message Queue. It works fine when installed to the local machine (i.e. when AUDITQUEUESERVER is set to local machine name or ‘.’) but when I try to install to another machine name it fails. Can anyone give me some guidance as to how to install to a different machine?

<pca:MessageQueue Id="AuditReceiveQueue" Label="Audit Receive Queue" Transactional="yes" PathName="[AUDITQUEUESERVER]\Private$\[AUDITQUEUENAME]">

<pca:MessageQueuePermission Id="AuditReceiveQueuePermissions" ReceiveMessage="yes" PeekMessage="yes" QueueGenericWrite="yes" User="MSMQDistributorServiceAccount"/>

</pca:MessageQueue>

</Component>

Many Thanks

Emma.
