Installer created with Wix fails to be installed as system -
i have quite simple installer created wix toolset. users complaints can't deploy installer system user. have user. however, have learned installers can deployed system user. tell me need in wxs file can deploy system user?
we typically deploy our msis using microsoft sccm system. use psexec invoke cmd prompt system our dev testing before sending sccm. there 2 reasons installer fail system:
1) user error: can't tell how many times i've seen packages put sccm invalid command line arguments. 1 of favorite quotation marks turned unicode quotation marks via email transmission. logging directory doesn't exist. forgetting tell msi run silently. sits there , hangs. awesome 1 typing msi name wrong. it's awesome because give me sccm log when ask msi log. no msi log means it's not msi's fault.
2) installer design error: have tested silent installs? have custom actions make assumptions user context / environment? 1 of old favorites (not) installshield installscript custom actions fail due poorly designed dcom interface talking msi session handle. it's been 10 years since fixed still come across installers , then. example assuming user have rights machine or internet (system typically has neither in corp environment.)
i'd start testing system using psexec. log install , see error is. otherwise haven't given details give specific answer for.
