AFAIK, only admin users can install services. It doesn't look like 
there's an individual account right to install services.

I wasn't gonna say anything...

Well, that's "access denied," so no surprises there. Does the event log 
show anything?

talks about a registry setting to force logging...

I tried to add the "Install" user (member of Power Users) everywhere using 
IIS 6.0 Metabase Explorer. Some of IIS CAs went through but I got stuck at 
"Installing Metabase Keys and Values" with error:

Not with the current IIS CAs. They use Admin Base Objects which require 
elevated rights.

[WiX-users] Installing IIS applications under non-Admin account ?

2006-11-17 Thread Petr Vones
Hi,

I have an installation containing several ASP.NET 2.0 applications. I use 
following elements in the MSI package:

WebApplication
WebAppPool
WebDirProperties
WebSite
WebVirtualDir

The installation is designed for Windows Server 2003 SP1 (thus IIS6) created 
by Wix 2.0. Currently it needs an administrator privilege to be installed.

Would be possible to run such installation under non-administrator account ? 
It seems as there are problems with IIS metabase permissions. I was asked to 
create a special "Installation" account to perform the installation. Another 
issue is to allow run MSI Installer for non-administrator user, but there is 
a registry settings for it.

Thanks, Petr
