Peter,
I've just upgraded the Win2k3 Server to SP2, and there was something I
missed to notice yesterday.
First of all yesterday I thought the Windows Installer service might not
have had the required privileges, so I simply tried to change the
account under which the service was run to Administrator in the SCM. At this
time a dialog picked up telling that "Administrator has been granted the Log
On As Service right" or something similar. Today, after installing SP2 the
situation was quite similar.
I failed again to run the MSI since the service installation failed due to
insufficient rights. So I tried again to see whether the Admin user has the
privileges, gone to the SCM and assigned this account to the WinInstaller
service, and the dialog picked up again, so the right was granted again. And
after that (no matter who is running the service), the installation
succeeded. So it seems to work fine here again (with a fully qualified
domain user name), on SP2, too.
I used to think Administrator users have each and every right - wrong...
