If you care about passing all the validation checks I'd go with your initial solution of adding RemoveFolder to all the components. Otherwise just have 1 component for the RemoveFolder entry. Personally I think ICE 38 is a complete pain and I've been ignoring it for ages with no side-effects. On the other hand my installer runs from a bootstrapper, so I can be sure the user nevers get the chance to change ALLUSERS to anything other than 1.
