No impersonations myself. This started occurring when there was a problem with my Custom UI which among other things prompted for a password. The UI was not showing up and so the password was not valid. But the install continued. It got to <ServiceIntall> and <ServiceControl> and the <ServiceControl> task failed because of an invalid password but the account (my account) that the service was installed under was locked out. My administrator indicated that something or someone tried and failed too many times so the account was locked out. I hate to try it again because it takes I am guessing the Domain Admin to unlock the account again and I hate to continually asked the admin to unlock my account. Hence the question.
If you have suggestions on how I might implement the custom action to validate the credentials I would be very appreciative. That may solve my problem. I have a WiX 2.0 script that works right now so I am reasonably sure that my account has the proper rights. I have subsequently successfully installed and started the service using that installation script.

Are you explicitly doing any impersonation of the logon user in custom actions yourself? If you are obtaining logon credentials from the user (via dialog or command line) I would implement a custom action to validate those credentials before you make any system changes and prevent the install from proceeding until you have valid credentials. I would also recommend checking that the account has the ServiceLogonRight policy set so to ensure it can be used to run services. -Mike -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/ServiceInstall-failure-tp5967359p5981755.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
