[WiX-users] Add User to predefined group fails

[tgoffice <tgo...@we...>]

I want to create a new local user which should be added automatically to
"Administrators" and "Users" group.

I use the predefind properties of WIX UtilExtension
"WIX_ACCOUNT_ADMINISTRATORS" and "WIX_ACCOUNT_USERS".

<util:Group Id="AdministratorsGroup" Name="[WIX_ACCOUNT_ADMINISTRATORS]"/>
<util:Group Id="UserGroup" Name="[WIX_ACCOUNT_USERS]"/>

<util:User Id="ProcessEngine_Web_User" CreateUser="yes"
CanNotChangePassword="yes" Disabled="no" Name="WixTest" Password="WixTest"
PasswordExpired="no" PasswordNeverExpires="yes" RemoveOnUninstall="yes"
UpdateIfExists="no">
	<util:GroupRef Id="AdministratorsGroup"/>
	<util:GroupRef Id="UserGroup"/>
</util:User>

The property returns "BUILTIN\Administrators". If I remove "BUILTIN\" it is
working.

The following error is logged to installer.log (used msiexec /i
"WixProject2.msi" /l*v "installer.log")

MSI (s) (50:5C) [08:59:49:546]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL:

Action ended 8:59:59: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.

I have attached the whole project and the compiled MSI:
http://n2.nabble.com/file/n1612823/WixCreateUser.zip WixCreateUser.zip 

I used WIX 3.0.4721.0, compiled on Vista SP 1.
I tried to install the MSI on several windows versins:

English Server 2003 SP2 (Windows Installer V3.01.4000.3959)
WIX_ACCOUNT_ADMINISTRATORS returns "BUILTIN\Administrators"


German Vista SP1 (Windows ® Installer. V 4.5.6001.22162 ) 
WIX_ACCOUNT_ADMINISTRATORS returns "Vordefiniert\Administrators"

German Serve 2003 SP2 (Windows ® Installer. V 3.01.4000.3959) 
WIX_ACCOUNT_ADMINISTRATORS returns "Vordefiniert\Administrators"

Is this a bug?
