I would have thought so, but I get the same ICE38 error. Based on the MSDN documentation - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368961%28VS.85%29.aspx - the registry key is required for any file placed in the user's profile. I suppose it's not worth asking why this is the case; I should just accept that's how it is. But it threw up a red flag for me that perhaps I wasn't putting files into the AppDataFolder in the correct or recommended way.

I thought (assumed) that I was doing a per-user install (that's my intention), but honestly don't know how to switch from per-user to per-machine or vice versa. I don't recall learning this from the tutorials, so any tips would be much appreciated.
