You can set Property/@SuppressModularization attribute. However this is described as a last resort :)
You can also use configurable merge modules but they are a pain. http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/avoiding-GUID-d ecoration-in-merge-module-property-name-td5742531.html#a5743848 -----Original Message----- From: Dirk Räder [mailto:d...@raeder.cc] Sent: 20 September 2011 09:31 To: wix-users Subject: [WiX-users] ServiceIntall using MergeModules - account doesn't getset Hi all, I'm implementing an installer using merge modules. Two of these modules contain ServiceInstall elements like this: <ServiceInstall Account="[USER_NAME]" Password="[USER_PASSWORD]" ErrorControl="critical" Description="Data Service" DisplayName="DataService" Id="dataServiceInstall" Name="DataService" Start="auto" Type="ownProcess" Vital="yes" /> One of the modules has platform="x64", the other platform="x86" - otherwise I would use only one module. The properties are both marked Secure="yes"; the password property has hidden="yes", too. When inspecting the MSI's ServiceInstall table, I see StartName=[USER_NAME.PACKAGE_GUID] instead of the expected [USER_NAME]. As a result, the services get installed using LocalSystem as a user regardless of what I set USER_NAME and USER_PASSWORD to. How can I fix this? Using a custom action to distribute USER_NAME to USER_NAME.PACKAGE_GUID should be a last resort.
