A patch application is just a repair with all relevant patch transformations applied to the msi. Check if your MSI repairs correctly. Do you persist SERVICEACCOUNT and SERVICEPASSWORD?

There were no errors during the creation. When I tried to verify the patch by applying it, I got following error: MSI (s) (C0:F0) [13:36:29:463]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=CreateUser,,) MSI (s) (C0:F0) [13:36:29:463]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=CreateUser,ActionType=11265,Source=BinaryData,Tar get=**********,CustomActionData=**********) MSI (s) (C0:88) [13:36:29:463]: Invoking remote custom action.

Return value 3. My code that has "CreateUser" in it is: <Component Id='********' Win64="$(var.Win64)" Guid='{*****************************}' > <util:User Id='*******' Name='[SERVICEACCOUNT]' Password='[SERVICEPASSWORD]' CreateUser='no' LogonAsService='yes'/> <File Id="***********" Name="**********" KeyPath="yes" Source="*************" /> <ServiceInstall Id='*********' Name='**********' DisplayName='***********' Type='ownProcess' Start='auto' ErrorControl='normal' Description='**************' Account='[SERVICEACCOUNT]' Password='[SERVICEPASSWORD]' Vital='yes'> <util:ServiceConfig FirstFailureActionType='restart' SecondFailureActionType='restart' ThirdFailureActionType='none' RestartServiceDelayInSeconds='10' ResetPeriodInDays='1'/> </ServiceInstall> <ServiceControl Id="StartService" Stop="both" Remove="uninstall" Name="**************" Wait="yes" /> </Component> I am a bit at loss as to how to fix this problem. I have heard that when patching, custom actions lose their parameters. Is this true? If util:user is internally implemented as a custom action, how do I get around this?
