I am trying to change the permissions on a registry key like so:

 

        <RegistryKey Id="RegCommon" Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\ACME\Common" Action="create">

          <util:PermissionEx GenericAll="yes"
User="[WIX_ACCOUNT_NETWORKSERVICE]" />

        </RegistryKey>

 

But when I run it I get this error in the log:

ExecSecureObjects:  Error 0x800706fd: failed to get sid for account: NT
AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE

Action ended 23:15:46: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.

 

Is it possible to use the WixQueryOsWellKnownSID properties with
PermissionEx? Alternatively can I specify a SID (e.g. S-1-5-20) for the
value of PermissionEx/@User?

 

(I can't hardcode the network service account name as it changes on
international versions of Windows.)
