ConfigureUsers runs early in the sequence and SchedSecureObjects (which handles PermissionEx) runs late, so it should work. How are you determining that the users weren't created? If the CA failed to create the user, it would log the reason and fail the install, for example. > Another custom action run by our installer also relies on the user > being created, and by sequencing it after InstallFinalize, it worked. > It seems that I could write another custom action that sets the > required permissions, sequence it after InstallFinalize, and have > everything work.

They should be deferred CAs (and marked no-impersonate if they need elevated permissions). -- sig://boB http://bobs.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
