[WiX-users] util:User doesn't role back
My installer creates a new user and gives it a random password during
the install. The installer also installs a service which using this
username and its password.
During a product upgrade the installer generates a new password for this
user and reinstalls the service with a new password.
During a rollback of a product upgrade the service is rolled back but
the user doesn't so the result is an old service using old password and
a user with the new password. The result is that the service cannot
start because it cannot login as that user due to an incorrect password.
What do I need to do in order to rollback the user creation ?
This is the code for user creation:
Directory Id=INSTALLDIR
/Directory
Component Id=CreateNewUser
Guid={4EB74AD3-C3EC-43be-B9FC-1D574151DE07}
util:User Id=OtarServer CreateUser=yes
Name=OtarServer Password=[USERPASSWORD]
LogonAsService=yes
PasswordNeverExpires=yes UpdateIfExists=yes FailIfExists=no
RemoveOnUninstall=no /
util:User Id=KmfWebUI CreateUser=yes
Name=KMFWebUI Password=[USERPASSWORD]
PasswordNeverExpires=yes
UpdateIfExists=yes FailIfExists=no RemoveOnUninstall=no/
/Component

There's no way to get the user's old password, so there's no way to roll back the update of an existing user. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
