PermissionEx always understands the "English" names. That might work for you.

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?
