I'm working on an installer for a windows service. I allow the user to specify a user/pass for the service to run as because LocalSystem is insufficient for this service. If the account the user provides does not have the "Log on as a service" policy assigned to it - admin accounts do not have this policy assigned to them by default, I want to atleast attempt to assign that policy to the account, then continue with the install if successfully or report failure.

Is this a situation that requires a C++ custom action?

Does anyone know of any good resources for this scenario?
