I have seen several discussions of this issue but have tried everything
there with no luck, so I'll start at the beginning.
I want to have a very simple WiX created msi that installs a few basic
components to the standard Program Files folder and adds a shortcut of the
type All Programs\Company Name\Product\Shortcut to the Start Menu.
As suggested in Mike Dimmick's March post (
http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewPost.jtp?post=9521945&framed=y), I have
downloaded the sample from the tutorial at http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix.
I then use wixcop to upgrade the samplefirst.wxs to 3.0, create a new wix
solution in Visual Studio 2005 and copy in the upgraded samplefirst.wxs and
supporting files, delete the default wxs file and add the upgraded
samplefirst.wxs to the new solution.
Build (from the VS2005 IDE) gives me:
Error 2 The Directory/@Name attribute's value, 'Programs', cannot be
specified with attribute ShortName
present. C:\Development\Prototypes\SampleFirst\SampleFirst.wxs 37 1 SampleFirst
Ok that seems simple - I removed the Shortname attribute from both of the
Directory tags for the Program Menu.
Build again:
Error 3 ICE43: Component MainExecutable has non-advertised shortcuts. It
should use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a
file. C:\Development\Prototypes\SampleFirst\SampleFirst.wxs 15 1 SampleFirst
Error 4 ICE43: Component Manual has non-advertised shortcuts. It should use
a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a
file. C:\Development\Prototypes\SampleFirst\SampleFirst.wxs 27 1 SampleFirst
Error 5 ICE57: Component 'MainExecutable' has both per-user and per-machine
data with a per-machine

Error 6 ICE57: Component 'Manual' has both per-user and per-machine data
with a per-machine

Error 7 ICE64: The directory ProgramMenuDir is in the user profile but is
not listed in the RemoveFile
table. C:\Development\Prototypes\SampleFirst\SampleFirst.wxs 38 1 SampleFirst
I tried to add <Property Id="ALLUSERS" Value="1" /> as has been suggested in
the lists. That gives: (no change)

Error 7 ICE64: The directory ProgramMenuDir is in the user profile but is
not listed in the RemoveFile

Just for fun I tried <Property Id="ALLUSERS" Value="2" /> and get: (still no
change)

I have tried many other suggestions from the lists but that might be enough
for this first post. Please help. I am looking forward to trying any
suggestions posted.
Thanks for your help,
