Hi Raja Your installation is correctly configured, but the "Installation Type" of your package does not affect the "Installation Type" of the applications you want to install through "Custom Actions". They have their own "Installation Type" set by their manufa...

Hi Jimmy If no username is set for the service, it will run in the LocalSystem account. Else it is very well explained in the following article How to install a service for a custom user? If you want to preserve the logon information you must check the "Set persistent property" checkbox fo...
