Here is the post that leads me to believe that admin rights are required for ICEs and NIT. It is a continuous integration environment that fails for me with a build account that does not have admin rights:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1064580/wix-3-0-throws-error-217-while-be ing-executed-by-continuous-integration ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- My original question in this forum: Is it correct to say that if LIGHT is allowed to run the internal consistency evaluators (ICEs, light runs them by default), and if NIT is used to run unit tests, that the account performing these actions requires admin rights? (WIX 3.5, Windows Server 2008 R2.) This is because ICEs and NIT run custom actions, which access the Windows Installer service, and that access requires admin rights. Disabling the ICEs and not running NIT allow my build to complete, and the MSI file is created. I'm just verifying that LIGHT will fail when running ICEs without admin rights, and there's no way around that.
