IIRC WiX 2.0 didn¹t do ICE validation so you probably had the warning just
didn¹t know you did.

Context is a migration of a WiX 2.0.5805.0 solution to WiX 3.8.1128.0.
Seemed to be working through the compiler and linker errors one by one
just
fine until I hit ICE38 regarding shortcuts.

HKMU is either HKLM or HKCU depending on if it's a per user or per machine
install.

Thanks for info on HKMU. I'll give it a try and suppress ICE57
I did some tests on multiple ways to handle shortcuts a few months ago:

I didn't really get any authoritative answer on whether my findings
are correct or what option is better, though.

As I recall, there were major language changes from 2.0 to 3.0 and that
refactoring would be expected. 3.0 - 3.8 should generally be backwards
compatible though.

Yes there have been. That is why we held at 2.0 and didn't make the jump. We
recently ran across the issue where a msi built in 2.0 installs under program
files(x86) on x64 machines no matter what. So rather than beat
about the WiX toolset.

Note, I have disabled ICE57, as I am using HKMU registry
