Does your build project use a non-interactive login that is also not an administrator on the build box? That is a known issue with 2008 & 2008 R2 that has no solution other than to either make your build account an administrator or make your build account "interactive" (i.e. logged in via the console instead of run from a service).

I found some messages how this can be solved, but it does not take any affect. I tried to change registry value (HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servises\MSIServer ImagePath), tried to modify group policy to allow any user to start installation. But no affect. Light/Smoke works normal if it start from command line, connected throw Remote Desktop. But if connect via telnet - exception. A lot of links at this forum describing this problem does not contains any information how to solve this problem. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/MSI-validation -on-Windows-Server-2008-tp5082749p5082749.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
