Hi Folks,

We are using WixComPlusExension to install com+ applications.

We are using WixQueryOsWellKnownSID of UtilExtension to get localized name
of Administrators and Users account.

this works fine , excerpt from log file :

PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding WIX_ACCOUNT_ADMINISTRATORS property. Its value is
'BUILTIN\Administrators'.

PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding WIX_ACCOUNT_USERS property. Its value is
'BUILTIN\Users'.

We are using this property as the compluscomponent role.

But, installation is failing at creating com plus CA
and the log says

ComPlusInstallExecute:  Failed to lookup account name, hr: 0x80070534,
account: '\BUILTIN\Administrators'

one additional BackSlash is being added at the beginning to the properties
values

'\BUILTIN\Administrators'
'\BUILTIN\Users'

which stands the reason for failure,

If anyone has any idea, why this '\' is being added, will be helpful for us
to progress.


Thanks
Sampat
