You can add the "log on as a service" privilege to a user without creating the user when using the User element. In what way does this not work in your situation ?

Highlighted yellow portion below. <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"> <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="XXX.YYY"> <Component Id="ProductComponent" Guid="f5d665d1-5792-4a35-a77a-c38bdd2bf0ab"> <File Id="F_XXX_YYY " Name=" XXX.YYY.exe" Source="$(var.DropTarget)\" Vital="yes" KeyPath="yes" DiskId="1" /> <ServiceInstall Id="ServiceInstaller" Type="ownProcess" Vital="yes" Name="XXX.YYY" DisplayName="XXX.YYY" Description="desc for XXX.YYY" Start="auto" Account="[USER_NAME]" Password="[PASSWORD]" ErrorControl="ignore" Interactive="no" Arguments="[INSTALLDIR] [LABNAME] [LABOWNER] [LABDESCRIPTION] [LABACCESS]"> <util:ServiceConfig FirstFailureActionType="restart" SecondFailureActionType="restart" ThirdFailureActionType="restart"/> </ServiceInstall> <ServiceControl Id="StartService" Start="install" Stop="both" Remove="uninstall" Name="XXX.YYY" Wait="yes" /> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> If this user is not part of 'Log on as a service', how do I add the user to that list through WIX? I found couple of different ways to make it work, but did not seem to address my exact situation. One way is User Element (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/wix_xsd_user.htm) with LogonAsService property Other way is PermissionEx Element (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/util_xsd_permissionex.htm) with User property set to User="[USER_NAME]" that I collect part of installer.
