That error 0x8007056B means "A member could not be added to or removed from the local group because the member does not exist." So it appears that there is no THEBIGWORD\LinguineUser to add.

The service that is being installed does Office automation. So I have added the following to my wxs: <util:User Id="AppPoolUser" Name="[USER_ACCOUNT]" Password="[USER_PASSWORD]" CreateUser="no" UpdateIfExists="no" LogonAsService="yes" > <util:GroupRef Id="dcom" /> </util:User> </Component> </DirectoryRef> <util:Group Id="dcom" Name="Distributed COM Users" /> When I run it I get the following in the error: CreateUser: Error 0x8007056b: Failed to add user WinNT://THEBIGWORD\LinguineUser to group 'WinNT://Localhost/Distributed COM Users'. CreateUser: Error 0x8007056b: failed to add user: THEBIGWORD\LinguineUser to group Distributed COM Users MSI (c) (3C:08) [09:27:26:809]: Font created.
