According to here a HKCU keypath is important for self-healing: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/A-method-for-avoiding-ICE38-error-td712044.html. So looks like not a good idea to ignore it.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Using advertised shortcuts/progid in per user install Since that is the case, ICE38 is (in my opinion) incorrect and you will want to ignore it. ICE38 implies you are installing per-user resources in the context of a per-machine installation but never verifies that this is so. Actually authoring a per-user install requires that you ignore ICE38 because it won't ever be accurate for that world. -----Original Message----- From: Wesley Manning [mailto:wmann...@dynagen.ca] Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 3:29 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Using advertised shortcuts/progid in per user install If that is your intent, then the KeyPath element should be removed from the File element.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Using advertised shortcuts/progid in per user install Rob, The error's not because I made a registry entry the keypath in that component? I know FILE_Rapid is not the KeyPath as the registry entry is. I had to do that to meet ICE38 (every component being installed under the current user's profile also specifies a registry key under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER root in the KeyPath column of the Component table).

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Using advertised shortcuts/progid in per user install That error is saying the Component is the KeyPath (thus a Directory) not the file. Something is causing FILE_Rapid to not be the KeyPath. _______________________________________________________________ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Wesley Manning [mailto:wmann...@dynagen.ca] Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 11:32 AM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Using advertised shortcuts/progid in per user install I would think so too but I can't figure out how to get past the ICE warnings. Since it's per user install in a per user location I can't have the file as the keypath of the component I have to set a registry value as the key path or I get ICE38. But once I do, I get ICE19 and ICE50. To meet ICE38 I have the below but it causes the below errors: ICE19 - 'settings' advertises component: 'CMP_Rapid'. This component cannot be advertised because the KeyPath type disallows it ICE19 - Shortcut: 'SHC_RunConfigExe' advertises component: 'CMP_Rapid'. This component cannot be advertised because the KeyPath type disallows it. ICE50 - Component 'CMP_Rapid' has an advertised shortcut, but the KeyPath cannot be found. <DirectoryRef Id="INSTALL_FOLDER"> <Component Id="CMP_Rapid" Guid="{9373A11C-5A3C-49E3-963D-C19B765A4285}"> <File Id="FILE_Rapid" Source="$(var.FilePath)\Dynagen Configurator.exe" KeyPath="yes"> </File> <Shortcut Id="SHC_RunConfigExe" Name="DYNAGEN Configurator" Description="Opens DYNAGEN Configurator application."

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Using advertised shortcuts/progid in per user install I don't know why it wouldn't be possible. Advertised shortcuts are one of the entry points for repair, and I'm pretty sure repair works fine on per user installs. The process is a potential repair - the shortcut checks that the component target is there, and if not installs it and repairs the parent feature. If it happens to have been a per machine install and another user is now using the product, the repair will see that (for example) a file in user's application data doesn't exist, so it gets installed for that user, the install-on-demand thing. --------------- Phil Wilson On Tue, Feb 11, 2014 at 7:03 AM, Wesley Manning <wmann...@dynagen.ca> wrote: > Can you use advertised shortcuts in a per user install that installs to a per > user location (e.g. LocalAppDataFolder).
