Hello Phil, Thank You for Your answer, but this doesn't help.
I have set the InstallPrivileges to "elevated", as You can see here: <Package InstallerVersion="405" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="perMachine" InstallPrivileges="elevated" /> But even when i execute my setup as an administrator, i get the following messages in the log. 1. The user is created (That's ok). MSI (s) (D8!78) [09:04:18:661]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding CreateUser property. Its value is '**********'. Action finished on 09:04:18: CreateUserRollback.

The answer to you in StackOverflow is accurate - it doesn't matter if someone is an administrator or not. Nobody has admin privileges unless they elevate. --------------- Phil Wilson On Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 1:19 AM, Patrick Pirzer <patrick.pir...@prosoft.net> wrote: > Okay, now the creation of the new user seems to be started, but i get an > privilege error. > That's curious because my user is an administrator on the virtual machine, > where i'm testing my setup. > My actual version for the creation of the user looks now like that: > > <util:Group Id="Administrators" > Name ="Administrators" > Domain="[ComputerName]" /> > <Component Id ="CreateUserAccount" > Guid="AEE91491-99FA-40A9-AB47-1E9FC2DDEF2A" > Directory="TARGETDIR"> > <util:User Id ="SQLUser" > Name="[DBUSER_PROP]" > Password="[DBPW_PROP]" > UpdateIfExists="no" > CreateUser="yes" > PasswordNeverExpires="yes" > PasswordExpired="no" > RemoveOnUninstall="no" > Domain="[ComputerName]"> > <util:GroupRef Id ="Administrators"/> > </util:User> > </Component> > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > -------- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT > Server from Actuate!
