    <p>This is my <a href="https://github.com/prey/prey-node-client/blob/msi/dist/windows/main.wxs" rel="nofollow"><code>.wxs</code> file</a></p> <p>Particularly I managed to install a service as a LocalSystem user, and started it:</p> <pre><code> &lt;!-- Directory where [prey]/versions/[version] will be --&gt; &lt;Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"&gt; &lt;Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="Prey"&gt; &lt;Directory Id="VersionsDir" Name="versions"&gt; &lt;Directory Id="VersionDir" Name="$(var.ProductVersion)"&gt; &lt;Directory Id="BinDir" Name="bin"&gt; &lt;Directory Id="BinWindowsDir" Name="windows"&gt; &lt;Component Id="CronServiceExe" Guid="ECC25B2A-FB2E-425A-92AD-DCF1D34204FF"&gt; &lt;File Id="file_8FF048AD40124B9F9C07126F2C14A765" Checksum="yes" KeyPath="yes" Source="source-msi\versions\0.10.0\bin\windows\cronsvc.exe" /&gt; &lt;ServiceInstall Id="CronServiceInstaller" Type="ownProcess" Vital="yes" Name="CronService" DisplayName="Cron Service" Start="auto" Account="LocalSystem" ErrorControl="normal" Interactive="no"&gt; &lt;/ServiceInstall&gt; &lt;ServiceControl Id="StartService" Start="install" Stop="both" Remove="uninstall" Name="CronService" Wait="yes" /&gt; &lt;/Component&gt; &lt;Component Id="CronServiceDll" Guid="75C4129B-C28A-45A8-9F06-CB496259FE7F"&gt; &lt;File Id="file_11D016207EA34826A20A52524A3A82BC" Checksum="yes" KeyPath="yes" Source="source-msi\versions\0.10.0\bin\windows\Cronsvclib.dll" /&gt; &lt;/Component&gt; &lt;/Directory&gt; &lt;/Directory&gt; &lt;/Directory&gt; &lt;/Directory&gt; &lt;/Directory&gt; &lt;/Directory&gt; </code></pre> <p>And it runs fine. Everything is OK, except when I get to uninstall the product. Because despite being asked in an UAC dialog I get (<a href="http://cl.ly/image/1g1Y0p1i2L3c" rel="nofollow">Screenshot</a>), the installer insist that I don't have permissions to stop the service.</p> <p>Here is the <a href="http://cl.ly/image/3R1z0T1S2A3w" rel="nofollow">screenshot of the Error</a>, which says:</p> <pre><code>Service 'Cron Service' (CronService) could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services. </code></pre> <p>And, here is the specific logs (I'm uninstalling with <code>/L*v</code> option to get verbose logs).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
