[wix-users] Failed to lookup account name

[sampat magi]

line numbers from 673-679

// get SID for account
    do {
        er = ERROR_SUCCESS;
        hr = CpiAccountNameToSid(pAttrs->pwzAccount, &pSid);
        if (HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_NONE_MAPPED) == hr &&
!::MsiGetMode(WcaGetInstallHandle(), MSIRUNMODE_ROLLBACK))
        {
            WcaLog(LOGMSG_STANDARD, "Failed to lookup account name, hr:
0x%x, account: '%S'", hr, pAttrs->pwzAccount);

            er = WcaErrorMessage(msierrComPlusFailedLookupNames, hr,
INSTALLMESSAGE_ERROR | MB_ABORTRETRYIGNORE, 0);



I think somewhere here it is failing :)
