I have check the target folder:

xxx.wixobj

<table name="SecureObjects"><row sourceLineNumber="D:\Develop\sbt-native-packager\test-project-windows\target\windows\test-project-windows.wxs*33"><field>fl__conf_application_ini205016303</field><field>File</field><field /><field>Administrators</field><field>268435456</field><field>_conf_application_ini205016303</field></row><row sourceLineNumber="D:\Develop\sbt-native-packager\test-project-windows\target\windows\test-project-windows.wxs*34"><field>fl__conf_application_ini205016303</field><field>File</field><field /><field>Users</field><field>268435456</field><field>_conf_application_ini205016303</field></row></table>

and file: xxx.wxs 33 and 34

<util:PermissionEx User="Administrators" GenericAll="yes"/>
                      <util:PermissionEx User="Users" GenericAll="yes"/>

I think I find the reason: according to the out under the target/streams/windows: I found the second command is

C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.11\\bin\light.exe -out D:\Develop\akka-http-seed\target\windows\akka.http.seed.msi D:\Develop\akka-http-seed\target\windows\akka.http.seed.wixobj -ext WixUiExtension

but according to the wxs, the util:PermissionEx is necessary. so the -ext WixUtilExtension should append to the command.

Thanks @xmeng1 for your detailed report.

I'm not sure if this is a version problem with wix. The Windows Server 2012 appveyor uses for testing seems to have the same major version WiX Toolset 3.11.0.1701. Nevertheless there may be a breaking change from 3.11.0.1701 to 3.11.1.2318. Can you verify that it would work with an older version?

As an alternative you could also submit a pull request and fix the command in the WindowsPlugin and we see if the tests still pass.
