Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Creating Active Directory Users
Hi,
There are probably all the problems that Rob talked about, but you may
find it works on a domain controller.
However the group Everyone is not an AD group
I am trying to create a domain user under Active Directory. Here is the
snippet from my Wix source:
DirectoryRef Id=INSTALLDIR
Component Id=CreateUserComponent DiskId=1
Guid=MY_GUID_-GOES-HERE--
User Id='SqlUserID' Name='[MYUSERID]'
Can WiX create domain users in Active Directory? If so, are there any
special gottcha's? For instance, if I want to specify a group
membership do I use BUILT-IN? (as in: BUILT-IN\Administrators)

I am installing an application that requires a number of
DLLs to be installed into the GAC. I install each DLL in its own component.
The first c component listed (I dont know if they install in order
listed) contains the DLL that appears in the error in the install log. The
error is show
This is a best practices question. I need to
create a database for my application. For example sake, lets say I have
100 tables to create along with related indexes and keys. I can easily
generate one large script and use that in my WiX project. On the other hand, I
could break the script
Lets say that I read a path from the registry. The
absolute path is read into a property. I want to set permissions on a specific
file in that directory.
Can I use the property (whose value I read from the registry)
as the ID of a Directory element?

assume it would be a child of a File element. I just cant figure

My installer will install two different products (companion
products). While the user would normally install one on one machine and
the other on another machine, they could install both on the same
machine. I need to modify the MACHINE.CONFIG regardless of which

is used from creating or updating elementsnot for querying them.

My installer needs to install on a volume other than where
