Did you try "NetworkService"?

Subject: [WiX-users] PermissionEx and WixQueryOsWellKnownSID properties
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.)
