[WiX-users] setting permissions when creating folder...

[Steve-Ogilvie]

Hi all,

I am setting a permission on a folder:

        <Component Id=&quot;cmp_ProgramDataPermServ&quot;
Guid=&quot;&lt;some guid>" Permanent="no" Shared="no">
          <CreateFolder>
            <util:PermissionEx User="NETWORK SERVICE" GenericWrite="yes"
GenericRead="yes" />
          </CreateFolder>

This has been working fine for a LONG time...

However, someone is trying to install our software on a German Windows 7 or
8 OS and getting this error:
ExecSecureObjects:  Securing Object: C:\ProgramData\TITUS\ Type:
CreateFolder User: NETWORK SERVICE
ExecSecureObjects:  Error 0x80070534: failed to get sid for account: NETWORK
SERVICE

Do I really need to change the permission User to:
<util:PermissionEx User="NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" GenericWrite="yes"
GenericRead="yes" />
??

thanks,
Steve
