The error shown below should not be ignored. It is telling you that your per-machine installation will not properly install the per-user shortcuts for users other than the one performing the installation. Creating a HKCU key will ensure that every user that logs on the machine will get the proper shortcuts installed.
All ICE errors have a purpose and should not be ignored. The ICE warnings are also important but there are isolated scenarios in which it might be suitable to ignore a warning (which is why it's a warning and not an error).

It basically means that the program is installing under program files but it can't tell whether you're trying to install in 'All Users' or a local user, so it throws a warning. For a per-machine install putting a key under HKCU is precisely the *wrong* thing to do. Tony ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
