It is just one component (generated by Heat). I use an XSLT to set KeyPath="no"
on <File> and add a <RegistryValue> with KeyPath=yes" and Root="HKCU"
(If I don't add <RegistryValue> - or if I use "HKMU" - the ICE75 becomes an
error rather than a warning)
The component contains an <AppId>, my added <RegistryValue>, the <File> (with
<TypeLib> child) and a <RegistryValue Root="HKCR" Key="AppID\...>
I have no idea what in the component is per-user and what per-machine.
>What are the "default" paths of the directories producing the ICE 91 warnings?
The MSI currently defaults to folders under LocalAppDataFolder. I figured I
probably needed to do something with ALLUSERS but wasn't sure what.
Unfortunately, we still have to support XP so I may have to put up with
warnings or separate MSIs
Thanks

1.Are the components that are flagged by those two ICE warnings coming from the
MSM or from the MSI consuming it? What resources are in the components
producing the ICE 57 warnings? What are the "default" paths of the
directories producing the ICE 91 warnings? HKCU is per-user registry data and
shouldn't normally share a component with any resource going into a per-machine
location (whether registry or filesystem).If an MSI (or even an MSM) will
support both per-machine and per-user scenarios, use HKMU and/or HKCR and never
HKLM or HKCU. Directories are harder, most defined directories are either
per-machine or per-user, so you generally must place all files in directories
that have different values based on the value of ALLUSERS (check each property
to see if the documented filesystem location is changed by the value of
ALLUSERS). Basically, see the following page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/dd408068.aspx. If you follow
those guidelines, you wil!
l be restricted to Win7/Server 2008R2 or above, and you will need to set
Package\@InstallerVersion to "500". If you must support Vista or anything even
more downlevel, you will have ICE errors/warnings unless you build per-machine
and per-user MSIs separately. 2. Add MsiPackage\@ForcePerMachine and set it to
"yes" in your per-machine bundle.
