I can't connect to Rob's Blog archive for some reason and he's Out of the
office right now.
I'm running into this same error and need to resolve this ASAP.
Does anyone have the text?
Thanks,
Dan

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:

See

for the oddities of ICEs and resources installed into the user profile.
