Description: Silent installers fails
Details:

Hi All,

When the installer creates the user account, I get the following error:

Internal Account lookup failure
No mapping between account names and security ID's was done.

Here is the silent installer command:

msiexec /i C:\hsm\source\pgsql\postgresql-8.1-int.msi /qr INTERNALLAUNCH=1
ADDLOCAL=server,psql,pgadmin SERVICEDOMAIN=%COMPUTERNAME%
SERVICEACCOUNT=fd202016fd SERVICEPASSWORD=fd_pgsql SUPERUSER=root
SUPERPASSWORD=fd_hsm PERMITREMOTE=1 ENCODING=UTF8 CREATESERVICEUSER=1
BASEDIR=C:\hsm\postgres

This is run from an NSIS installer (with ExecWait).
The user account "fd202016fd" specified was created.

Any idea what could cause this and what could be a workaround?

Thanks,
Anton
