Hi, I have a problem I'm trying to resolve regarding installing a couple of services via ServiceInstall. Of these services some install as Local System, and Some as Local Service.
When we originally built this wix project, it targeted only English OS's and in the serviceInstall element we used the WiX properties WIX_ACCOUNT_LOCALSYSTEM , and WIX_ACCOUNT_LOCALSERVICE to set the account names and this all works well. We now have a requirement to install on Polish (and other languages). The installer and the product will not be translated, but it must work on a non-English OS. So here's the problem, the installer runs fine on a Polish OS, the services install, but none of the services set under LocalService start, they fail with Error 1068, which is a dependency failure. The thing is, if you access the service manager and reset the logon account to local service via the UI then the service starts. If I use WIX_ACCOUNT_LOCALSERVICE, the service installs but does not start. If I take the translated value for Local Service (ZARZĄDZANIE NT\USŁUGA LOKALNA) and use that in my wxs directly I get the compile time error (Error 3 A string was provided with characters that are not available in the specified database code page '1252'. Either change these characters to ones that exist in the database's code page, or update the database's code page by modifying one of the following attributes: Product/@Codepage, Module/@Codepage, Patch/@Codepage, PatchCreation/@Codepage, or WixLocalization/@Codepage. If I use the English NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE, the installer fails to install the service If I use the SID (S-1-5-19), the installer fails to install the service Services installed as WIX_ACCOUNT_LOCALSYSTEM install and start. Services installed as WIX_ACCOUNT_NETWORKSERVICE suffer the same issue as above. Anyone got any ideas on how I can solve this?
