I think that the only privilege that you can set in Wix is 'Logonasaservice', via the user element.
I had to do this by custom action years ago from installshield. -----Original Message----- From: Pally Sandher [mailto:pally.sand...@iesve.com] Sent: 22 June 2011 10:32 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Setting user privileges No idea. I've never come across giving specific privileges without using groups. I suspect you'll need a custom action unless anyone else has any suggestions.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Setting user privileges The GroupRef element is for adding the user into groups, not for assigning a privilege. I need only SeCreateSymbolicLink. AFAIK only Administrators group has this privilege, but the user must not be an administrator. So I cannot add it to this group.
