A repair is basically a reinstall, and it can't do that unless you can arrange to supply those credentials again. They're not remembered on your behalf.

Subject: [WiX-users] Windows Service Repair failing on lack of permissions + how to detecting repair mode ? Hello, Our WIX setup installs a windows service after asking logon account through a custom UI dialog.. The service starts after installation succeeds. Entire setup requires elevated privileges. Hoping for any pointers regarding couple of questions: *Question 1* On attempting "Repair" from "Add/Remove Programs", UAC prompts for privilege elevation. After allowing so, the repair still fails with message: "Service <service name> could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services". Here's excerpt from code: <Product Id="$(var.productCode)" Codepage="1252" Language="1033" Manufacturer="Microsoft" Name="$(var.productReleaseName)" UpgradeCode="$(var.upgradeCode)" Version="$(var.productVersion)"> ... <Condition Message="$(var.adminPrivilegesRequired)">Privileged</Condition> ... <Component Id="C_ServiceEXE" Guid="{105F9C86-BF07-43C8-8C78-DF30F012CD68}"> <File Id="$(var.TargetFileName)" Name="$(var.TargetFileName)" KeyPath="yes" Assembly=".net" AssemblyManifest="$(var.TargetFileName)" AssemblyApplication="$(var.TargetFileName)" DiskId="1" Source="$(var.TargetDir)\$(var.TargetFileName)" /> <Condition>Privileged</Condition> <ServiceInstall Id="Id_ServiceInstall" Name ="$(var.ServiceName)" Description="$(var.ServiceDescription)" DisplayName="$(var.ServiceName)" Account="[SERVICEACCOUNT]" Password="[SERVICEPASSWORD]" Start="auto" ErrorControl="normal" Type="ownProcess" Vital="yes" Interactive="no" /> <ServiceControl Id="Id_ServiceControl" Name ="$(var.ServiceName)" Remove="uninstall" Start="install" Stop="both" Wait="yes" /> </Component> ... </Product> I not quite sure why this is happening, since I admin am on on my Win7 dev box and have marked both the setup and speicifically the service install component to be run in privileged mode. I suspect I might be missing scheduling repair inside an AdminInstallExecute sequence but not quite sure if that will fix this. *Question 2* Also, related question is - if repair does succeed, would it again require user to enter logon account via the UI. I'd rather suppress all interactive UIs during repair or upgrade. I realize that UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE to detect upgrade.* * * * But how is repair detected ? Appreciate any help or pointers.
