Thanks guys for all your help. I am now able to send password and start windows service using util:user as mentioned in the format below.
<util:User Id="TaskService" Domain="[USER_SYSTEM_DOMAIN]" Name="[USER_SERVICE_ACCOUNT]" Password="[USER_SERVICE_PASSWORD]" LogonAsService="yes" FailIfExists="no" CreateUser="no" RemoveOnUninstall="no" /> My next problem, is how should I handle them for patch release? I am able to build Patch1.msp by following steps: 1.Create Patch1.msi 2.Compare RTM.msi and Patch1.msi using Torch and Pyro;and generate Patch1.msp When I try to install them, I get a fatal error. Below is the extract from verbose log. Action 12:28:41: CreateUser. MSI (s) (2C:90) [12:28:41:010]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=CreateUser,ActionType=11265,Source=BinaryDat a,Target=**********,CustomActionData=**********) MSI (s) (2C:90) [12:28:41:026]: Creating MSIHANDLE (1064) of type 790536 for thread 400 MSI (s) (2C:2C) [12:28:41:026]: Invoking remote custom action.
