Your product is installed into %DesktopFolder%\CompanyXYZ\AppName. On
uninstall <RemoveFolder Id="INTALLDIR"...> instructs to remove the AppName
folder, but who will remove the CompanyXYZ folder? You can safely add to the
main component which will be always installed with your app <RemoveFolder
Id="MyCompanyName"...> element to remove the CompanyXYZ folder because it will
be removed only if it is empty (think of the situation when you have another
product installed at %DesktopFolder%\CompanyXYZ\AppName2, for example).
Hope, this helps.

Subject: [WiX-users] Help with ICE64 please
Hello.
Wow, I'm learning that WiX is cool, but ICE is very confusing. I would have to
think that with WiX's simplicity, it would attract a significant population
that does not have Windows Installer experience (self included!) that probably
makes these ICE errors especially bewildering.
Anyway, the following WiX XML gives the following error with light.exe:
error LGHT0204 : ICE64: The directory MyCompanyName is in the user profile but
is not listed in the RemoveFile table.
So, what WiX XML do I need to put it in the RemoveFile table and why?
