Okay, this may be my leverage to upgrade... Account="NT Authority\NetworkService" *installed* but did not set the Log On account under Wix 2.0. The other variants failed with error 1923.
But Account="NT Authority\NetworkService" installed and did set the Log On account using Wix 3.5. So now I can tell the people who want this fixed that they'll need to take the newer Wix and I can stop pestering people here for debugging help on the Dead Sea Scrolls :) Thanks Mark -----Original Message----- From: Mark Modrall [mailto:mmodr...@mzinga.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2011 11:52 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] <ServiceInstall> question in Wix 2.0 Thanks for the reply Michael... I tried changing it to Builtin\NetworkService and then to [ComputerName]\NetworkService, but then I started getting Error 1923. Service 'Prospero Chat Service' (DChatServer) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services. I'm an admin on the box so the latter portion of the message doesn't seem to apply, but it didn't seem to like either of the alternatives...

Subject: [WiX-users] <ServiceInstall> question in Wix 2.0 Hi... Sorry to keep asking questions about Wix 2.0, but I haven't gotten clearance to upgrade the tools. I'm trying to get a windows service to install running under the NETWORK SERVICE account for some new dependencies. I tried adding Account="NT Authority\NetworkService" to my <ServiceInstall> node, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be having any impact. The installer runs, the code gets installed and in the end it's still running under Local System. Here's my whole node: <ServiceInstall Id="NewServiceInstall" Name="DChatServer" Account="NT Authority\NetworkService" DisplayName="Prospero Chat Service" Type="ownProcess" Start="auto" ErrorControl="normal"> <ServiceDependency Id="MSMQ" /> </ServiceInstall> Am I doing something obviously wrong?
