Hi guys,
This is not specifically a WiX question, but a general MSI CA question. I need to validate a username and password for a Windows Account (actually for the service I'm installing to log in as). Now, the way I'm doing this at the moment is to use the C++ function LogonUser(). However, on Windows NT and 2000, this requires the Act As Part Of The Operating System right, which the user running ths installation is not guaranteed to have. On Windows 2003, you don't need this right.
Microsoft have an example on how to use SSPI to do this (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/180548) but this doesn't work in VS2003, and C++ is not exactly my thing. I just wondered if anyone had some code I could use that would be compatible with both Win2k and Win2k3 to save me from banging my head against the wall (and the several shots of whiskey it'll take to recover).
I'd be eternally grateful
Thanks in advance.
John
