Thanks for the tip but the problem is that I think these usernames get
localised on Windows so you need to use the well known sid or lookup the name
from the well known sid, therefore, I need to use WixQueryOsWellKnownSID
properties. We have been caught out be this and the only place I can find any
documentation on it is here:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSR/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=685354&SiteID=37. It
doesn't say that "NetworkService" wouldn't work but I am cautious of using it
until I can be sure it will always work.

how I did a similar thing with the "Authenticated Users" group

I didn't but will later but as I said in my post I need something that is not
localised in international variants of Windows and I think NetworkService
changes.

Did you try "NetworkService"?

Subject: [WiX-users] PermissionEx and WixQueryOsWellKnownSID properties
I am trying to change the permissions on a registry key like so:
<RegistryKey Id="RegCommon" Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\ACME\Common" Action="create">
<util:PermissionEx GenericAll="yes"
User="[WIX_ACCOUNT_NETWORKSERVICE]" />
</RegistryKey>
But when I run it I get this error in the log:
ExecSecureObjects: Error 0x800706fd: failed to get sid for account: NT
AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
Action ended 23:15:46: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.
Is it possible to use the WixQueryOsWellKnownSID properties with PermissionEx?
Alternatively can I specify a SID (e.g. S-1-5-20) for the value of
PermissionEx/@User?
(I can't hardcode the network service account name as it changes on
international versions of Windows.)
