I have a couple of WIX projects that start install and start services. As I
need the installers to work on non-English machines, I have been using
WixQueryOsWellKnownSID properties to provide localised account names for the
services.
But I have obviously got something wrong; because although the services
install, they do not start in certain locales. So far, I know the installers
work in Holland, France, Japan, & China; but do not work in Germany & Belgium,
(the language on the Belgium machines was French).
During install, we get an "Service 'ServiceName' failed to start. Verify that
you have sufficient privileges to start system services." error message.
If I ignore the error and then open the Services MMC, the Service is shown as
having a localised account name, (NT-AUTORITÄT\NETZWERKDIENST on a German
machine); if I then manually set the service account to network service, the
Services MMC displays Netzwerkdienst, and the service runs fine.
So far all the testing has been done with Windows7 and Server2008R2 - same
issue on both OS's.
The WIX service code:
<PropertyRef Id="WIX_ACCOUNT_NETWORKSERVICE"/>
<Component Id="ProductComponent" Guid="5bcdeb4a-9832-4a01-9863-60bc0634a8fd">

</Component>
I am using WIX version 3.9.16.0 with Votive on Visual Studio 2012
