Re: [WiX-users] How to install a new user?
Thank You very much Phill! You're absolutely right and i had totally forgotten, that there is a tiny difference between german and english OS. I always tried to add my user to the group Administrators but it had to be Administratoren. I heeded Your advice and used Your C#-code in my GUI-ViewModel to read the names of the local groups Administrators and Users. Then i defined two bundle-variables, which get the names of the local groups and - finally - i give the variables to the MsiProperties. That works; my new user was created and added to the adminstrators group - as i could see with the tool lusrmgr.msc. Thanks a lot Phill! I wish You merry christmas and a happy new year! -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-to-install-a-new-user-tp7598529p7598619.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

I have set the InstallPrivileges to elevated, as You can see here: Package InstallerVersion=405 Compressed=yes InstallScope=perMachine InstallPrivileges=elevated / But even when i execute my setup as an administrator, i get the following messages in the log. 1.

Re: [WiX-users] How to install a new user?
You have 'TESTPC/Users' The separator should be a backslash.
Try 'TESTPC\Users'
Another issue that you may want to consider is that Group names are
localized. I use an mba to get the localized name, and then pass that in a
Burn variable (in this case the name of the Administrators group).
string aSID = new
SecurityIdentifier(WellKnownSidType.BuiltinAdministratorsSid,
null).ToString();
string domain_adminsGroupName = new
System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier(aSID).Translate(typeof(System.Security.Principal.NTAccount)).ToString();
this._adminsGroupName =
domain_adminsGroupName.Split('\\').Last();
If using WixStdBA you could a BAFunctions.DLL or literal strings in a wxl
file. In a MSI (without a bundle) use a CA.

Re: [WiX-users] How to install a new user?
It is curious that the error message has a forward slash, rather than a
backslash:
CreateUser: Error 0x80004005: Failed to get group 'TESTPC/Users'.
Both the Users group and the Administrators group are in the 'Builtin'
domain, but the name of the group might be localized so using the English
name won't work on a German OS.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc756898%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
In my mba I use code like this to get the localized name of the Group.
string aSID = new
SecurityIdentifier(WellKnownSidType.BuiltinAdministratorsSid,
null).ToString();
string domain_adminsGroupName = new
System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier(aSID).Translate(typeof(System.Security.Principal.NTAccount)).ToString();
this._adminsGroupName =
domain_adminsGroupName.Split('\\').Last();
You could use some other method like a bafunctions.dll in wixstdba or a ca
if the msi is not burn driven. But noticed that I pass the domain\\name, as
returned, string returned to the Name attribute of util:Group. (It appears
this is a contrast to your approach and may indicate an issue with the
extension.)
util:Group Id=AdminGroup Name=[ADMINSGROUPNAME]/
util:User Id=AdminUser Domain=[MYDOMAIN] Name=[MYACCOUNT]
CreateUser=no
util:GroupRef Id=AdminGroup/
/util:User
This approach is working for me.
