I got the same error doing the same thing until I added the <RegistryValue> element as shown below:
<Directory Id='ProgramMenuFolder' Name='ProgramMenuFolder'> <Directory Id='IDProgramGroup' Name='Company'> <Component Id='IDProgramGroup' Guid='insert Guid here'> <RemoveFolder Id='IDProgramGroup' On='uninstall'/> <RegistryValue Root='HKCU' Key='SOFTWARE\Company\MyApp' Type='string' Value='Hello World' KeyPath='yes' /> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> Hope this helps!

When I use AppDataFolder or LocalAppDataFolder, I keep getting ICE38 error messages for all my components. The error message tells me that I need to use a key in HKCU as KeyPath, not a file. What kind of key is it asking for? I am only trying to copy files to a folder and really have no clue what HKCU key I should be creating to make this work.
