I'm trying to make a 100% per-user MSI that will work in XP/Vista/W7.

 

<Product InstallerVersion="200" InstallPrivileges="limited" 
InstallScope="perUser" ...

 

Yeah, compiling my project gives me hundreds of ICE038 errors:

"Component FOO installs to user profile. It must use a registry key under HKCU 
as its KeyPath, not a file."

 

I get it! But, why can't I simply set some global root value to "stfu=HKCU"?

1) I don't want to specify a registry key for each one of my 100 files!

2) I understand you should not encapsulate multiple files in one component 
(which would effectively reduce the number of registry keys needed).

 

I also found this:

Obviously, I'm not alone...

 

 

What's the best solution? Please help!
