The process to create a user, create a service, and then set the
service to run as the user is fairly straitforward. I have <User> and
<ServiceInstall> elements and I've verified that they're working fine
by themselves; both the user and the service are created upon install.
The problem comes when I try to assign the user the appropriate rights
to start the service. I have the appropriate <Permission> element
underneath <ServiceInstall>, but whenever I run my MSI with that
element, I get the following error message in my install log:
ExecSecureObjects: Error 0x80070424: failed to get security info for
object: hmr_db
As best as I can tell, both the user and the service are being created
before this message is logged; I see these two log messages prior to
the error:
Action 13:53:44: CreateUser.
Action 13:53:48: InstallServices. Installing new services
Here's the appropriate parts of my WXS file:
<Component Id="postgresql_service" Guid="9BDBC894-66D1-4F38-BB0B-15E564F82130">
<File Id="pg_ctl.exe" LongName="pg_ctl.exe" Name="PG_CTL.EXE"
Source="..\..\..\..\..\..\..\Program Files\pgsql\bin\pg_ctl.exe"
KeyPath="yes" DiskId="1" />
<ServiceInstall Id="postgresql_service" Description="Hybrid Medical
Records Database Server" DisplayName="HMR Database"
ErrorControl="critical" Name="[SERVICE_NAME]" Start="auto"
Type="ownProcess" Vital="yes" Arguments="runservice -W -N
"[SERVICE_NAME]" -D "[postgresql_data]""
Account="[DATABASE_USER_DOMAIN]\[DATABASE_USER_NAME]"
Password="[DATABASE_USER_PASSWORD]">
<Permission User="[DATABASE_USER_NAME]"
Domain="[DATABASE_USER_DOMAIN]" ServiceStart="yes" ServiceStop="yes"
ServiceInterrogate="yes" ServicePauseContinue="yes"
ServiceQueryConfig="yes" ServiceQueryStatus="yes" Extended="yes"
ServiceChangeConfig="yes" ServiceEnumerateDependents="yes"
ServiceUserDefinedControl="yes" />
</ServiceInstall>
</Component>
[...snip...]
<Component Id="postgresql_account" Guid="E67E92FE-6926-46F7-8F86-E5BD981CD84C">
<User Id="postgresql_user" Name="[DATABASE_USER_NAME]"
CanNotChangePassword="yes" CreateUser="yes" Disabled="no"
Domain="[DATABASE_USER_DOMAIN]" FailIfExists="no"
Password="[DATABASE_USER_PASSWORD]" PasswordExpired="no"
PasswordNeverExpires="yes" RemoveOnUninstall="yes"
UpdateIfExists="yes" />
</Component>
(The two Components are in different <Directory>s, if that matters. I
can supply the full WXS and log file if necessary. The SERVICE_NAME
property is set to "hmr_db"; the error message does appear to be
referring to the service with the correct name.)
As I mentioned, the user and service are being created correctly
(although the service can't start due to the missing permissions), but
the minute that I add in <Permission> the install fails. I've Googled
all over the net for any information on this problem to no avail. Can
anyone help with this? It looks like a WIX/MSI bug to me; is there a
workaround?
Thanks,
Craig
