Did you add the namespace as well? The WiX.chm talks about how to use extensions.

Howdy! I'm in a rut that I'm trying to break out of. I want to create a user with my .msi file. I have the following: 8<-------------------------------------- <Component Id="RequiredUser" Guid="{7fac0cb7-19c2-4b63-a663-e1363722d27c}"> <User Id="SomeUser" Name="SomeUserName" Password="supersekrit" /> </Component> -------------------------------------->8 Of course, I get the following response when I try to link everything: C:\SomeProduct\SP\Dist\SP.wxs(461) : error CNDL0005 : The Component element contains an unexpected child element 'User'. Ok. I'm cool with that. I need to specify the proper Wix*Extension.dll, right? I'm not sure which Wix*Exension.dll so I decided to try them all with the following command line: 8<-------------------------------------- C:\SomeProduct\SP\Dist>candle -o SP.wixobj SP.wxs -ext WixDifxAppExtension.dll -ext WixDirectXExtension.dll -ext WixFirewallExtension.dll -ext WixGamingExtension.dll -ext WixIIsExtension.dll -ext WixMsmqExtension.dll -ext WixNetFxExtension.dll -ext WixPSExtension.dll -ext WixSqlExtension.dll -ext WixUIExtension.dll -ext WixUtilExtension.dll -ext WixVSExtension.dll Microsoft (R) Windows Installer Xml Compiler version 3.0.4318.0 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. SP.wxs C:\SomeProduct\SP\Dist\SP.wxs(461) : error CNDL0005 : The Component element contains an unexpected child element 'User'. -------------------------------------->8 What is the proper command line and extension to use? I've been banging my head up against this and just want to get this task done so I can move on to the next WiX related task (creating vdir, AppPool, etc) and feel that if I get the user created the rest should fall into place.
