SecureObj translates several names into well-known SIDs. It doesn't use
the NT AUTHORITY "domain" so just leave that part off. Here's the code
for NetworkService:
else if (!*pwzDomain && 0 == lstrcmpW(pwzUser, L"NetworkService"))
{
hr = AclGetWellKnownSid(WinNetworkServiceSid, &psid);
}

[WiX-users] CreateFolder not finding SID for NetworkService
I have the following CreateFolder element under my Component Element for a service that needs to run as NetworkService. The install fails with an error message about not being able to find the SID for "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService". Since the service does install fine without this element, i find that hard to believe. what else am I doing wrong otherwise ? I'm trying to set the permissions for the folder in which the service is installed so that it can create directories etc. when it starts up. thanks, -amol -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/CreateFolder-not-finding-SID-for-NetworkService-tf2398565.html#a6688667 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - Take Surveys.
