Hi I've resolved this. The errors in the event log are nothing to do with WIX. I've also got my permissions working by using PermissionEx.

Subject: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall account error Hi When I run the installer the windows service installs with the correct account but I get an error in the event log: <ServiceInstall Id="ServiceInstaller" Type="ownProcess" Name="MyService" Vital="yes" Start="auto" Account="NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" ErrorControl="normal" Interactive="no"> </ServiceInstall> "Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine ConvertStringSidToSid(S-1-5-82-3006700770-424185619-1745488364-794895919-400 4696415.bak). hr = 0x80070539, The security ID structure is invalid. .

Installer class does not appear to run. It contains an access control rule to add modify permissions to the application folder. The installer does work as expected when I use installutil.exe. Any ideas? Many thanks Andrew ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
