I believe so, yes. You'll need to careful on Vista because custom actions inherit a limited set of privileges and I don't know which is needed to update a user account. http://blogs.msdn.com/windows_installer_team/archive/2006/10/30/preview- of-upcoming-kb-articles-windows-installer-4-0-on-windows-vista.aspx

I allow the user to specify a user/pass for the service to run as because LocalSystem is insufficient for this service. If the account the user provides does not have the "Log on as a service" policy assigned to it - admin accounts do not have this policy assigned to them by default, I want to atleast attempt to assign that policy to the account, then continue with the install if successfully or report failure. Is this a situation that requires a C++ custom action? Does anyone know of any good resources for this scenario? =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor(r) http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
