I'm attempting to install a service and receiving the dreaded "1923" error. Along with the service I'm also creating the user that the service will "log on as" in the same install. I then assign the created account and password to my service.
The confusing part (to me) is that if I run the install without assigning an account and password to the service, the install is successful. I can then go in to the SCM after the install and assign the account which was just created with the install and the service will start. I'm using XP and am myself a local admin. There was a similar sounding post on the mailing list last year, but it doesn't appear that it was resolved. http://www.nabble.com/Running-Service-under-a-User-Account-tt12879873.html Running Service Under a User Account Below are the specifically involved WIX nodes I'm using (note I removed the guid for space reasons): ... <util:Group Id="UsersGroup" Name="Users"/> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"> <Directory Id="ManufacturerFolder" Name="Company"> <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="Product"> <Component Id="CreateService" Guid="myGuid"> <util:User Id="ServiceAccount" CreateUser="yes" LogonAsService="yes" RemoveOnUninstall="yes" Name="ServiceAccount" Password="Password0!"

Any help is appreciated.
