Hi
Two things to consider
IIS_USRS is a built in group try not setting the Domain in the group record
(that has worked for me on Win7). I don't know if its relevant but it won't
work on Windows 2003 Server (it uses a different group).
For your user - %USERDOMAIN resolves to the domain of the Logged on user - so
it may be the name of the local computer if you are logged on as a local
account or the domain name of the AD domain if you are logged on as a domain
user. If you are trying to always create a local user I would suggest set the
domain to "[ComputerName]" (just check that property I am going from memory).
Otherwise I don't believe that util:User will actually create a domain user.
Regards
Michael

As requested:
<util:Group Id="grpIIS_IUSRS" Name="IIS_IUSRS" Domain="[%USERDOMAIN]" />
...
<util:User Id ="$(var.myWindowsUser)" CanNotChangePassword="yes"
CreateUser="yes" Disabled="no" Domain="[%USERDOMAIN]" FailIfExists="no"
LogonAsService="no" Name="$(var.myWindowsUser)"
Password="I8JDoe7gzMCEB9rIwxDcl8ZQyxFxVnd0Nhs3wI9sSxf2oOrBPN7wB4JITsY6kio"
PasswordExpired="no" PasswordNeverExpires="yes" RemoveOnUninstall="yes"
UpdateIfExists="yes">
<util:GroupRef
Id="grpIIS_IUSRS" />
</util:User>
The following is the user account for the IIS Anonymous authentication and
Identity for the Application Pool. I've not set or done anything with
%USERDOMAIN. It is, what it is.
WiX Toolset v3.6.1321.0
Fails on Target Windows 7 OS in a workgroup, but works perfectly on Target
Windows Server 2008 also in Workgroup. Something weird going on.
