Software Deployment

Hi,

An update to this. I have been able to get around the registry permission problems by adding the 'AlwaysInstallElevated' key to and HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer. I still however am getting an MSI Error 1920 Access Denied unable to start service. The Startname field is left blank in the ServiceInstall table, which, according to the documentation means the LocalSystem account will be used. But this doesn't seem to be enough to do it. Any suggestions gratefully appreaciated.

HI

I have the same problem. when i install my repackaged MSI of the application Viewnow i have an error.
it tells me that i have insuficient privileges to launch service.
It's the first time i have to install a service i have no idea of what to do.

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed response. I have used a comma as the delimiter for each field. ServiceInstall Table is as follows:

W3SVC,W3SVC,World Wide Web Publishing,32,2,1,blank,IISADMIN[~][~],blank,blank,blank,inetinfo.exe_service,description(to long to write here).

IISADMIN,IISADMIN,IIS Admin,32,2,1,blank,RpcSs[~]SamSs[~][~],blank,blank,blank,inetinfo.exe_service,description(to long to write here).

SMTPSVC,SMTPSVC,Simple Mail Transfer Protocol,32,2,1,blank,EventLog[~]IISADMIN[~][~],blank,blank,blank,inetinfo.exe_service,description(to long to write here).

I have tried changing the ServiceType to 16 instead of 32 which is own process instead of shared without success. Also I have the Event field in the ServiceControl table set to 161 which equals Install Start = Yes and Uninstall Stop and Uninstall Delete equal to Yes. I have also tried combinations here to but without any success.

I am now looking at the AppID's in HKCR to see whether this might be related.

Please let me know if there is anything I should be changing here...

Thanks

Hi,

this post is being continued in the MSI Error 1920 thread for everyone's reference, just so that there is no duplication of posts.

Thanks,
