My apologies I gave some incorrect information. I am not specifying the impersonate attribute. Apparently that is different from a 'yes' or a 'no'. I rather hate that about WiX. I'm an explicit kind of guy.
I was hunting around and found a reference to a custom action type value that makes MSI Terminal Services aware. 17408 was the value. Which is by the way different from the value that gets set when you use TerminalServicesAware="yes". 17473 I am installing through a Terminal Services session. Setting this value solved my problem. Any idea why I get different behaviors when both machines are Win2K3 Svr with Term Services role? -----Original Message----- From: Wilson, Phil [mailto:phil.wil...@wonderware.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 10:23 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Installation credentials on install Running without impersonation means you're running with the SYSTEM account. This has no network access rights, and results in presenting some variations of Anonymous or the machine account to other systems depending on the AD or trust configuration.
