body: <p>I'm using Wix installer. When I run installer I get this error:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/uJOLm.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>I'm logged as administrator. I also tried create anotherone user.
  So I tried:</p>
  
  <p>1| I add my user "Administrator" to place "Log on as a service"</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/pzPMA.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>2| I checked my Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service if is running</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/NKgwQ.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>3| I get my SID</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/JuH6E.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>4| I added to SMSvcHost.exe.config section  with my SID.</p>
  
  <p>Check "My administrator sid"</p>

  <p>5| I edit all SMSvcHost.exe.config for sure:</p>
  
  <p>C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\
  C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319</p>
  
  <p>C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation
  C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319</p>
  
  <p>6| Restart = Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service</p>
  
  <p>7| When I got that warning message during instalation, I didn't cancel, I tried also run service from path where files are installed and via cmd prompt I run manualy and it's run.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/6Gv4U.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>8| But my instalator can't finish instalation. Everytime I got that sentense: "Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I can only cancel instalation and instalation roll back and delete all files.</p>
  
  <p>ANY HELP PLEASE? 5 DAYS I'M GOING AROUND THIS WITHOUT RESULT. I TESTED THAT ON 2 DIFERRENT VIRTUAL MACHINES WITH WINDOWS SERVER X64 AND WINDOWS 8 X64.</p>
