Looks like it's a bug in ICE61. According to the MSDN documentation, VersionMin & VersionMax both "must be a valid product version as described for the ProductVersion property." See -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372379(VS.85).aspx ProductVersion properties are valid if "The third field ... has a maximum value of 65,535." See -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370859(VS.85).aspx
I've tried replacing the darice.cub in my WiX 3.0 binaries with the one from the Windows Installer 4.5 SDK Orca MSI but this gives the exact same error when using 32768 as the 3rd field in a VersionMin or VersionMax attribute of an Upgrade Element. When I try using the one from the Windows Installer 5 SDK Orca MSI the ICE's fail to run at all so I can't be sure whether the documentation has been updated to reflect changes in Windows Installer 5 & is misleading us since we're still using the 4.5 SDK ICE's.
