Well, my people will always run the installer with ALLUSERS=1.
However the thing needs to pass validation and the ICEs do not seem to
resolve properties. So it does not need to actually work with ALLUSERS=0,
it should just look to the ICEs like it would.
I just found a pretty ugly hack to get rid of the (bogus IMO...)
ICE 38/43/57 errors:
<Directory Id='ProgramMenuFolder' Name='Programs'>
<Directory Id='ProgramMenuDir' Name='WASY'>
<Component Id='...'>
<RemoveFolder Id='...' On='uninstall' />
<RegistryValue Id='StartMenuFeflow' Root='HKCU'
Key='Software\WASY\Dummy'
Name='Feflow' Action='write' Type='integer' Value='0'
KeyPath='yes' />
<Shortcut Id='...' Directory='ProgramMenuDir'
Name='FEFLOW ...' WorkingDirectory='TARGETDIR'
Target='[INSTALLDIR]bin32\feflow.exe' />
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
The problem is that the ICEs think that ProgramMenuDir is a per-user
setting (which it is for ALLUSERS=0, but not in the scenario my users
will see) and so it requires a registry value in HKCU as keypath.
So I just give them one, even if this is never used.
Does anybody see anything wrong (apart from being a horrible hack...)
with this approach?

PS: Anyone out there who's already build a Vista-Logo-Program
'compatible' Wix v3 installer with start menu entries?
