Does the service account have filesystem permissions to the directory you're trying to access via the share ?
-----Original Message----- From: Atul Kolhatkar [mailto:atul.kolhat...@microsoft.com] Sent: 02 August 2011 19:44 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Fileshare permissions I am trying to create a file share using Wix. Here is the fileshare fragment I'm using: <!-- Begin file shares --> <DirectoryRef Id="SharedMQStorage"> <Component Id="FileShareComponent" Guid="A89F990A-051B-494D-A958-D71A14724E10"> <CreateFolder /> <util:FileShare Name="SharedMQStorage" Id="FileShare"> <util:FileSharePermission User="ServiceAccount" Read="yes" GenericWrite="yes" Traverse="yes" CreateChild="yes" CreateFile="yes" /> </util:FileShare> </Component> </DirectoryRef> <!-- End file shares --> The user is defined as follows: <util:User Id="ServiceAccount" Name="[SERVICEACCOUNT]" /> and the value is passed in as a parameter during install. The install works without any error, and the file share gets created. I can even see the user account listed in the Sharing properties with Read/Write access. However, when I try to access it as \\localhost\SharedMQStorage<file:///\\localhost\SharedMQStorage> I get an access denied error (see attached screenshots). Any ideas what might be going wrong?
