Give access permissions to "NETWORK SERVICE"

[tcom36]

I need to give access permissions (read and write) to a folder for "NETWORK SERVICE".

I have found out, I can add permissions to a folder with the "Files and Folders" part of InstallShield. Within the permissions, I added limited access to Everyone and Full Control to NETWORK SERVICE.

This works great as long as Windows is english.

However on a german windows, the user NETWORK SERVICE is called Netzwerkdienst, resulting in an error message 1332 during installation because of unknown SID.

Is there any property which I could use in order to set either NETWORK SERVICE, Netzwerkdienst or whatever it is called in the different languages?

You can use "Networkservice".
This name will translated by the OS to the specific language.

Thank you for the answer, I will try that.

Is there a list somewhere of what can be used, I could only find "Everyone" ?

The help file says (see: LockPermissions Table): When you use Windows Installer 2.0 or later, the common user names "Everyone" and "Administrators" may be entered in English and are mapped to well-known SIDs.

Search in http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx for "NT AUTHORITY". Maybe you will find something else.
