With SQLInsight:Web:AdminGroups empty nobody could add the first server. The
installer now takes ADMIN_GROUPS (';'-separated) and writes it to the web's
sqlinsight.ini; while the setting is empty, members of the web server's
BUILTIN\Administrators (S-1-5-32-544 among the user's group SIDs; a remote
Negotiate login has the full token, a UAC-filtered deny-only SID does not count)
may change it. The page says who may.

Entering a connection string in the installer is now enough: the new
command `SQLInsight.Agent.exe setup-repository` runs as a deferred custom
action after the services exist and sqlinsight.ini is written, and before
they start. It runs as the installing user on purpose (SQL Server must see
a person with rights, not SYSTEM) and:
- creates the database from Database=... if it is missing
- creates logins/users for the service accounts: agent db_owner, web
db_datareader. NT SERVICE\... accounts arrive at another computer as
DOMAIN\COMPUTER$, which then gets the login instead
- runs the schema migrations
- with MONITOR_SERVER: creates the agent's login there and applies
grant-least-privilege.sql (embedded). A failure there is a warning only
A repository failure stops the installation; the reason goes to the
Application event log with a Danish hint (login, rights, certificate,
unreachable). SKIP_REPOSITORY_SETUP=1 leaves it to a DBA. Safe to rerun.
verify-msi.py allows this one action to impersonate and checks its
placement, Return=check and condition. Tested against a local SQL
Express (twice, idempotent) and with an unreachable server. Version 1.0.1.

installer/SQLInsight.wxs (WiX 3 syntax) builds on Linux with wixl
(installer/build-msi.sh) and in Forgejo CI on every v* tag. Agent and Web
are installed self-contained as Windows services under virtual service
accounts (or a gMSA), with a settings page in the wizard or MSI
properties for silent installs; the values go to sqlinsight.ini, read
after appsettings.json. The data folder is locked to SYSTEM,
Administrators and the agent account, the event log source is
registered, the web port is opened in the firewall, and the automatic
update task is an optional feature. Upgrades happen in place, keep
edited settings and the chosen features; uninstall keeps the settings.
msi-tables.py writes what wixl lacks (component and feature conditions,
Permanent/NeverOverwrite, vital services, REG_EXPAND_SZ) and
verify-msi.py checks the result (sequencing, deferred actions, ASCII
only). test-msi-wine.sh runs install, upgrade and uninstall under Wine.
Installations made with the MSI get new versions as MSI packages run by
the update task, so Windows Installer stays in charge of the files.
The example instance is removed from the shipped appsettings.json, and
the CLI writes UTF-8 to the console.
