Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Creatin User Group and add current user into it I'm leary of going out of process like that. It's really difficult to handle unexpected errors. Personally I created a datadriven custom action for defining groups and then use the built in wixutil extensions to handle associating users to the groups. I'm not sure why WiX doesn't handle this in the first place as the Group element under a Component element would be a logical extension to the pattern. --- Christopher Painter, Author of Deployment Engineering Blog Have a hot tip, know a secret or read a really good thread that deserves attention?

I created custom action in C# however it is not executing when I am running .msi by double clicking, however if I run command prompt with "Run as Administrator" then it work fines.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Creatin User Group and add current user into it Correct. I had to write (DTF) custom actions for this functionality. --- Christopher Painter, Author of Deployment Engineering Blog Have a hot tip, know a secret or read a really good thread that deserves attention?

The WiX group element can only search groups and not create new ones according to the documentation. It can however add new or existing users to an existing group. > From: rahu...@microsoft.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2011 13:04:38 +0000 > Subject: [WiX-users] Creatin User Group and add current user into it > > Hi, > Is there any simple way in WIX to create user group and add current user into that group.
