[WiX-users] How to get the current user in WiX?

Is there a way to get the current user's name and password in the wix code? I need it to install services, as the user who is logged in -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC

I don't think there is ever a way to get the user's password as plain text. The user's name is in a standard MSI Property. sandun css wrote: Is there a way to get the current user's name and password in the wix code? I need it to install services, as the user who is logged in

Yes. I could get the user name as [LogonUser]. But, I need that value to be in another property. (i.e. Property Id=MYPROP Value=[LogonUser]/ ) But, the above code doesn't work. How can I achive it ? On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 4:27 PM, Rob Mensching r...@wixtoolset.org wrote: I don't think there

SetProperty. Have you read any of the documentation? Many of the questions you've asked could be answered by spending a little time working through the available documentation. sandun css wrote: Yes. I could get the user name as [LogonUser]. But, I need that value to be in another property.
