... And it doesn't have to an issue in your MSI. There seems to be a problem where the system account loses access to some folders, so see if this is the issue, like this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/228658 And try it on some other fresh virtual machines to see if it's happening everywhere or on just one system.

The error message says "log on as administrator or contact your system administrator". The user, however, has administrative rights on the computer. He can install other non-WiX setups of the same application to the same directory. We just recently converted it to WiX for this upcoming release. Any ideas where I've possibly gone wrong in thie WiX-setup project? It's my first, so it wouldn't be a shocker that I've missed something. Not posting any code because I don't know which code applies and posting everything is a sureshot for nobody reading it at all. :-) Best Regards, Tom ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform delivers complete security visibility with the essential security capabilities.
