this is my Wix file (in part): <util:User CreateUser="yes" Id="id_NewUser" Name="NewUser"
Password="password" Domain="[ComputerName]" FailIfExists="no" PasswordNeverExpires="yes" LogonAsService="yes" RemoveOnUninstall="yes"> </util:User> <ServiceInstall Id="newservice" Name="newservice" DisplayName="New Service" Type="ownProcess" Interactive="no" Start="auto" ErrorControl="normal" Description="Blah blah " Account="NewUser" Password="password" Vital="yes"> <util:PermissionEx User="NewUser" TakeOwnership="yes" Domain="[ComputerName]" ServiceStart="yes" ServiceStop="yes" /> </ServiceInstall> I want to run "newservice" as user "NewUser" but with the Account and Password set to those of "NewUser" the service refuses to install with the error: "Error 1923. Service 'New Service' (newservice) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services." If I remove Account or Password attributes (or set them to [SERVICEACCOUNTUSERNAME] and [SERVICEACCOUNTPASSWORD] ) the service installs and starts fine. I can then manually change the ownership to the newly created NewUser and restart the service no problem. Thanks very much for your help.
