It is curious that the error message has a forward slash, rather than a backslash: >>CreateUser: Error 0x80004005: Failed to get group 'TESTPC/Users'.
Both the Users group and the Administrators group are in the 'Builtin' domain, but the name of the group might be localized so using the English name won't work on a German OS. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc756898%28v=ws.10%29.aspx In my mba I use code like this to get the localized name of the Group. string aSID = new SecurityIdentifier(WellKnownSidType.BuiltinAdministratorsSid, null).ToString(); string domain_adminsGroupName = new System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier(aSID).Translate(typeof(System.Security.Principal.NTAccount)).ToString(); this._adminsGroupName = domain_adminsGroupName.Split('\\').Last(); You could use some other method like a bafunctions.dll in wixstdba or a ca if the msi is not burn driven. But noticed that I pass the domain\\name, as returned, string returned to the Name attribute of util:Group. (It appears this is a contrast to your approach and may indicate an issue with the extension.) <util:Group Id="AdminGroup" Name="[ADMINSGROUPNAME]"/> <util:User Id="AdminUser" Domain="[MYDOMAIN]" Name="[MYACCOUNT]" CreateUser="no" > <util:GroupRef Id="AdminGroup"/> </util:User> This approach is working for me. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-to-install-a-new-user-tp7598529p7598602.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!
