OK, you misunderstood me, or I didn't explain it well.
What you need to do to satisfy the ICE is to add a RegistryKey to the
Component and set that as the KeyPath. Unfortunately you will have to do
this in the merge module that you're merging. If you can't fix the merge
module you'll need to suppress the warning message (somehow I missed that it
was a merge module in your previous message).
For the example below you would use something like:
<Directory Id="PersonalFolder" SourceName=".">
<Directory Id="MyTemplates" Name="My Templates">
<Component Id="MyTemplatesData"
Guid="F01395F7-665D-1548-C565-AB8376CD74F0">
<RegistryValue Id="ConfigXmlKeyPath" Root="HKCU"
Key="Software\MyCompany\MyProduct" Name="Config.xml" Value="1" KeyPath="yes"
/>
<File Id="Config.xml" Name="Config.xml"
Source="$(var.SourcePath)\Config.xml" />
<RemoveFolder On="uninstall" />
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
The RemoveFolder element satisfies the other ICE requirement, that a folder
created in the user's profile is removed on uninstall.

Subject: [WiX-users] My Documents Folder
Yesterday I posted a question asking how to write to the "My Documents"
folder. Well after some experimentation I came up with this.
<Property Id="MYDOCUMENTSFOLDER">
<RegistrySearch Id="MyDocumentsSearch" Root="HKCU"
Type="directory" Name="Personal"
Key="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell
Folders" />
</Property>
...
<Directory Id="MYDOCUMENTSFOLDER" SourceName="User's Personal Data
Folder">
<Directory Id="MyTemplates" Name="My Templates">
<Component Id="MyTemplatesData"
Guid="F01395F7-665D-1548-C565-AB8376CD74F0">
<File Id="Config.xml" Name="Config.xml"
Source="$(var.SourcePath)\Config.xml" />
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
This compiles and runs without warning. Is this considered the correct
method?
Regards,
Mike
