Silly question: does it work if you use <Permission GenericAll="yes"
Domain="NT Service" User="MyService" />

Subject: [WiX-users] Unable to add permission for virtual account

Hi,

My target machine is Win2k8 R2 or Win7, which supports virtual account.

In my setup code, I have a ServiceInstall and the account is set to virtual
account NT Service\MyService
And I have a CreateFolder, which I want to grant permissions to the virtual
account
The code is like:
      <Component Id="cmpEE183C6477823F89D36AFD338130E837"
Guid="{76799486-FB33-42F6-87EB-D644C400886A}">
        <File Id="filCFE915781A5270051FB2412A7EA21D9E" KeyPath="yes"
Source="$(var.BinDirRoot)\MyService.exe" />
        <ServiceInstall Name="MyService"
                        DisplayName="My Service"
                        Start="auto"
                        Type="ownProcess"
                        ErrorControl="normal"
                        Account="NT Service\MyService"
                        />
        <ServiceControl Id="SCMyService" Stop="uninstall" Remove="uninstall"
Name="MyService" />
      </Component>
      <Component Id="cmp79309F0996E4D40CAEC1389FB7D7E8F8"
Guid="{0A016CE5-8629-4990-B91D-A80008818F4E}" KeyPath="yes">
            <CreateFolder>
              <Permission GenericAll="yes" User="NT Service\MyService"  />
            </CreateFolder>
      </Component>

I got error "NT Service\MyService is not a valid user or group."
I thought it was because the CreateFolder and grant permission happens
before install service, so I change the InstallExecuteSequence, set
      <InstallServices Sequence="3650" />
      <CreateFolders Sequence="3700" />
Now from the log, the InstallServices do happen before CreateFolders.
However, I still got the same error when grant permission.

If I don't set the permission, the installation will success, and the
service is logon NT Service\MyService correctly.
I can successfully grant permission of NT Service\MyService to the folder
manually.

Any idea of the failure?


Thanks,
-Elfe
