[WiX-users] ICE66 with light v3.0.3829.0

2008-03-03 Thread Neil Sleightholm
Since updating to the latest version of WiX (3.0.3829.0) I now get the following ICE error: ICE66: Complete functionality of the Shortcut table is only available with Windows Installer version 4.0. Your schema is 200. Does anyone know why this has started happening and how to fix it?
