Hi to all,

I have built a WIX project which installs and starts services. For the release version it all seems to work fine but for the debug version I get "insufficient privileges to start service". Any clues why this is happening?

Using .net/Visual studio.

In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
