WiX translates the strongly typed authoring to Registry table rows because it provides for a better user experience than MSI's native COM tables (compared to automatic repairs). Yes, it triggers ICE33s but they can be safely suppressed. If you look at the Vista Logo guidelines, it doesn't require that packages be clean of ICE33s. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Take Surveys.

WiX compiles AppId, Class, ProgId, etc. elements into the appropriate registry entries. If you need others that WiX doesn't directly support, you can use RegistryKey/RegistryValue elements to get them. If they're common, enter feature requests so we can evaluate putting them into WiX authoring directly. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [WiX-users] regarding the usage of ProgID, ClassId in wix
Hi Bob,
The idea here was to avoid ICE33 warnings and if I create the registry keys
by using registry/registry values/tags I believe they would cause ICE33
warnings.
Another thing I noticed was having used TypeLib, Class, AppId and ProgId
tags, the resulting MSI do not have ProgId, Class tables. Is there any flag
I need to set to cause these tables to be created?Am I missing something
here? ICE33 warnings are still reported after having used these tags?
What would be your inputs on this?

It doesn't appear that WiX supports those values. You can write them
manually with RegistryKey/RegistryValue elements but please submit a feature
request so we can evaluate them. If you can provide links to docs that
describe those values as valid, it would be helpful.

ICE33 can be safely ignored, especially if you're using WiX's strongly-typed elements otherwise. The various COM tables in MSI have been found to be problematic so unless you're using advertisment, they aren't used. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
