MSI requires for each component a KeyPath to check if the component is here or not (when repairing an install for example). Typically a Keypath is a file, folder or registry key. If the component contains items that are user-specific the KeyPath must also be user-specific.
So you can add something like the following to define a KeyPath for your component: <RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\MyCompany\MyApplication" Name="Installed" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes"/> And probably also something like that to remove your folder from the Start Menu on uninstall : <RemoveFolder Id="D_App_Menu" On="uninstall"/> Olivier Cochelin ocoche...@notocord.com -----Original Message----- From: Curtis Jewell (Perl-programming e-mail) [mailto:lists.wix-us...@csjewell.fastmail.us] Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 6:08 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Why is this not registering the shortcuts as all-userones? (fwd) I messed up on the pasting, so here it is, fixed. I'm compiling my installer on WiX 3.0.4805. Here is the error(s) I get... C:\Documents and Settings\Curtis\Local Settings\Temp\perldist\wix_fragments\Icons.wxs(5) : error LGHT0204 : ICE38: Component C_S_CPAN_Client installs to user profile.
