Hi Daniel, If I activate "Do not delete extracted MSI and CAB files" everything works. If I deactivate it the msi stays in the extract location after install. 2.

Hi I found some odd behavior when trying to use service account settings with variables. Our service should run with LocalSystem or a user defined account. I defined both variables for Username and Password in Install parameters with a value of {}, but it doesn't work. It also doesn't work when usin...
