Thank you for your help, Derek. Msival2 has already caught some additional
things for me.
I am so far pleasently suprised at the level of support for the WiX
Toolset.
FYI, we are using it to package up our Point Of Sale application and
deliver it to our cash register systems, among other things, so it has a
pretty big reach.

Checkout msival2 - this is a tool from the Windows Installer team
distributed in the SDK which is a little bit more verbose to use than smoke
but essentially supports the same functionality. My only caution with
running ICEs this way is to disable ICE33. This is the only ICE we
actually
suggest you disobey since it gives poor advice about using the advertised
COM tables instead of just the simple Registry table.

It looks like validation is still a manual process, at least until Wix 3.0
gets marked stable? I am currently using the latest 2.x, and integrating
wix into an extensive daily build process (using ant)

This is a common authoring mistake which is caught by MSI validation - be
sure to run validation on all your MSI files.

Subject: [WiX-users] Registry element causes error 2727
Adding the following element to a component causes the generated MSI to
throw error 2727:
<Registry Root="HKCR" Key="CLSID\{2ED33534-3318-4CE9-9D3D-40E5F7E930F5}"
Value="USBPort Class" Type="string" />
I see the following in the log:
DEBUG: Error 2727: The directory entry 'WindowsFolder' does not exist in
the Directory table
Here is an entire .wxs that reproduces the problem:
