[OT] Windows User Accout Issue......

[Lloyd Dupont]

I'm trying to install a MSI (LINQ preview in fact), but at some stage it
(unsuccessfully) try to upgrade the C# language service with the error
message:
=====
An error occured while applying security settings. Power Users is not a
valid users group.
=====

But the control panel\User Account don't mention it...
What could I do?

At first you can launch msi file with params in order to log what is happening,
to do this type " msiexec /l*v .\installlog.txt /i your_msi_file.msi
After failure you can watch through log file and detect on what stage of the installation error happened.

What is C# language service?

Try to install this msi under Administrator account

What version of Windows are you running? "Power Users" has been a
Windows-defined group since I think NT4 if not earlier.

Thanks for your tips!
IT could be the C# language service is the software used to do syntax
completion in VS.NET....

I am an administrator, it's why it's surprising!
