It must use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file.

I tried learning what KeyPath means, but I can't find anything that really talks about it in the WiX help file. Many topics refer to it, but I can't find what ICE38 is and why I need a registry key, and I still don't know what a KeyPath means.


WiX doesn't do much on documenting MSI concepts; for those, you want/need the MSI SDK. KeyPath is a column in the Component table: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368007(VS.85).aspx.

See http://robmensching.com/blog/archive/2007/04/27/How-to-create-an-uninstall-shortcut-and-pass-all-the.aspx for the oddities of ICEs and resources installed into the user profile.
