Hello Phill, Thank You for Your answer. I know, that the components need a directory path and i added - in my case - the TARGETDIR to the component as You can see in the Product.wxs at the end. My problem is, that the new user - defined in the variable DB_USER - is never created. When i take a look at the existing logins with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, the new user is not there.
What can i do, that the user will be created and added to the administrator group? In my bootstrapper chain, i'm installing SQL Server Express with the following InstallCommand: InstallCommand='/QS /ACTION="Install" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ENU="False" /UpdateEnabled="True" /FEATURES="SQLENGINE,LOCALDB,FULLTEXT,BOL" /UpdateSource="MU" /HELP="False" /INSTANCENAME="SQLEXPRESS" /INSTANCEID="SQLEXPRESS" /SQMREPORTING="False" /ERRORREPORTING="False" /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service" /AGTSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic" /COMMFABRICPORT="0" /COMMFABRICNETWORKLEVEL="0" /COMMFABRICENCRYPTION="0" /MATRIXCMBRICKCOMMPORT="0" /FILESTREAMLEVEL="0" /ENABLERANU="True" /SQLCOLLATION="Latin1_General_CI_AS" /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic" /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service" /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS" /SECURITYMODE="SQL" /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN="True" /TCPENABLED="1" /NPENABLED="1" /BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic" /FTSVCACCOUNT="NT Service\MSSQLFDLauncher" /ROLE="AllFeatures_WithDefaults" /ASSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic" /ISSVCStartupType="Automatic" /RSSVCStartupType="Automatic" /SAPWD="[DB_PW]"' As You can see, i set /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS to "BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS", so the new user, which belongs to the administrator group. And here the Product.wxs-file, including the creation of the new user: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:iis="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/IIsExtension"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"; xmlns:netfx="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/NetFxExtension";> <?define Manufactor = "prosoft EDV-Lösungen GmbH & Co.

Every component needs a keypath and if it does not include a File or Registry element it must have a Component/@Directory which implies that you define a directory tree. There is an example directory structure here. http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/files_and_registry/add_a_file.html You might consider this blog <http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2010/5/2/the-wix-toolsets-remember-property-pattern/> and use the registry entry for saving your property as the keypath (which still needs the driectory tree). -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-to-install-a-new-user-tp7598529p7598530.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
