[wix-users] localized names for NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE and BUILTIN\Administrators

[Evan Ross]

 Sorry I grabbed the wrong parameter from my VS-generated command line.  I definitely see WixUtilExtension in there though.
-ext "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.11\bin\\WixNetFxExtension.dll" -ext "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.11\bin\\WixUtilExtension.dll" -ext "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.11\bin\\WixBalExtension.dll" Bundle.wxs

I believe, you Should see
 
light.exe  (-ext "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.11\bin\\WixUtilExtension.dll")
 
you still may not have it linking correctly
 
  
 
You are showing WixNetFxExtension.dll as per your message below, I believe this is a different library.
 
  
 
I don’t use VisualStudio all my builds are done from cmd line and use WixUtilExtension all the time.

I believe that I am linking WixUtilExtensions properly.  I'm using the Visual Studio 2019 extension and have the reference to WixUtilExtension.dll (v3.11) in there.  I can see the reference to it in my light.exe  (-ext "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.11\bin\\WixNetFxExtension.dll")
 
  
 
Also have the namespace reference (xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension") in there
 
  
 
Thanks
 
Evan

Did you include WixUtilExtensions when linking?

Subject: [wix-users] localized names for NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE and BUILTIN\Administrators

Hi all,
New to the list and I'm trying to solve a problem with a SQL Server bootstrapper install on a PC that might not be English Language.
Because of this I need to be able to refer to the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE and BUILTIN\Administrators accounts in the InstallCommand line in their localized names on the machine. (for example NT-AUTORITÄT\NETZWERKDIENST on a German language machine)


I have the following fragment after my bundle to handle the SQL install <Fragment>
    <PropertyRef Id="WIX_ACCOUNT_ADMINISTRATORS"/>
    <PropertyRef Id="WIX_ACCOUNT_NETWORKSERVICE"/>

    <PackageGroup Id="SQLSERVER">
      <ExePackage Id="Sql2019Express"
                DisplayName="SQL Server 2019 Express"
                Cache="yes"
                Compressed="yes"
                PerMachine="yes"
                Permanent="no"
                Vital="yes"
                Name="SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe"
                SourceFile="Resources\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe"
                InstallCommand="/ACTION=Install
                                /INSTANCENAME=$(var.InstanceName)
                                /FEATURES=SQL
                                /SECURITYMODE=SQL
                                /SAPWD=[SqlVariable]
                                /TCPENABLED=1
                                /SQLSVCACCOUNT="[WIX_ACCOUNT_NETWORKSERVICE]"
                                /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic
                                /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=[WIX_ACCOUNT_ADMINISTRATORS]
                                /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN=FALSE
                                /Q
                                /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms"
                UninstallCommand="/Action=Uninstall /INSTANCENAME=$(var.InstanceName) /FEATURES=SQL /Q ">

        <ExitCode Value ="3010" Behavior="forceReboot" />
      </ExePackage>
    </PackageGroup>
  </Fragment>

For whatever reason the values for WIX_ACCOUNT_NETWORKSERVICE and WIX_ACCOUNT_ADMINISTRATORS are returning nothing as seen in the install log (see SQLSVCACCOUNT and SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS )

C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\004A55528A3D38224B71C2DE0D1A3291DAEF5E0F\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe, arguments: '"C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\004A55528A3D38224B71C2DE0D1A3291DAEF5E0F\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe" /ACTION=Install /INSTANCENAME=***** /FEATURES=SQL /SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD=***** /TCPENABLED=1 /SQLSVCACCOUNT="" /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS= /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN=FALSE /Q /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms'

Am I not getting the PropertyRef at the right time?  I'm probably a little confused about how it works and what it should refer to.

Any help or ideas here will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
