I just found this discussion:
http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-do-I-install-to-LocalAppData-folder-td7580065.html:
"This is my own, admittedly inexpert, understanding of per-user installations:
[...]
The ICE38 error is slightly misleading: since you have a per-user
installation, it's safe to ignore as long as the user cannot pick an
alternative installation location that is common to all users. ICE38 is
checking for the situation where multiple users all install the same
component to the same path."
So maybe there is no way wix can tell at build time if it's safe to ignore
ICE38. It's up to the developer to ignore or not.
Funny I'm finding lots of info on per-user installs now.

Subject: ICE38 on per-user installs
I recently ran into ICE38 when trying to create a per-user install. One
opinion was ICE38 is invalid and should only apply to per-machine installs.
What do you guys think?
Should I add a feature request for wix to ignore ICE38 if install set as
per-user?
