Error during WSS 3.0 Installation

I got a strange error while installing WSS 3.0 yesterday at a client.The error I was getting was "

ERR Failed to create the configuration database. An exception of type System.Security.AccessControl.PrivilegeNotHeldException was thrown. Additional exception information: The process does not possess the 'SeSecurityPrivilege' privilege which is required for this operation."

Solution:

I read pointed out that the user running the install needs to have the “manage auditing and security log” privilege

Manage auditing and security log

Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment

Description

Determines which users can specify object access auditing options for individual resources such as files, Active Directory objects, and registry keys.

A user with this right can use the security tab in the security permission set editor's Properties dialog box to specify auditing options for the selected object.

This user right is defined in the Default Domain Controller Group Policy object (GPO) and in the local security policy of workstations and servers.

By default, only administrators have the privilege to manage auditing and the security log.
