Tony, One scenario we have in our systems is that our customers may want *some* users to have access to all the components, but other users to only have access to certain items.
This leads to a scenario where it is a per machine install, where the current (admin) user should get *all* the shortcuts, but other users only get some of them. So far, I have avoided the issue (and in one case ignored the ICE)... But I know that sooner or later it's going to come back to haunt me! :-) Any guidance the readers of this list can offer would be appreciated.

I don't see why anyone would ever want to do this - put per user shortcuts in per user installations and per machine shortcuts in the all users category. Mixing the two is just silly IMO. I'm not even sure *how* you'd make wix do it, since ProgramMenuFolder is set correctly depending on the install type... you'd have to override the default behaviour somehow. I've never managed to author a nontrivial wix file without this ICE, but in each case I know I'm doing the correct thing.. it's just generated automatically by any attempt to create a shortcut. That makes the warning useless. Tony ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
