I'm having an issue with a basic installer built with WIX when it's being
used on German versions of Windows XP - the problem is that the Network
Service account is in fact named "Netzwerkdienst" and as such the installer
is failing with the message:

An error occurred while applying security settings. Network Service is not a
valid user or group. This could be a problem with the package, or a problem
connecting to a domain controller on the network. Check your network
connection and click retry, or Cancel to end the install.

Here's the snippet of xml that's failing:

<Component Id="WebSiteIndexesComponent"
Guid="3B9C897B-FE09-4c3c-A244-CC84964BFF0F" Directory="WebSiteIndexes">
  <CreateFolder>
    <Permission User="Network Service" GenericAll="yes"
ChangePermission="yes" />
  </CreateFolder>
</Component>

I'm wondering if anyone has hit this issue, and if there's a way to
reference a localized "Network Service" name that's correct for german vs.
english OS's.  Alternatively is there a Condition I could evaluate to choose
different components based on the OS language?

Cheers,

 - Alex
