LGHT0204 are just errors coming straight from the ICES (that are owned by the Windows Installer team). I'm not sure what changed exactly but 10 months is a long time in the lifetime of WiX v3 so *a lot* probably changed. <smile/>
Anyway, to fix the problem, mark the RegistryKey as KeyPath="yes" (you may need to move to RegistryValue to be a KeyPath, I forget).

I want to update it to 3.0.3907 and but have hit some errors that I could use some help to work around: Error 1 WiX source: <Component Id="Group0DeskTopShortcut" Guid="B44A939F-5189-4B47-93E6-C013BC4DAAF1" DiskId="5"> <Shortcut Id="MainExecutableDesktop" Directory="DesktopFolder" Name="!(loc.ProductName)" WorkingDirectory="INSTALLLOCATION" Icon="winmine.exe" IconIndex="0" Advertise="no" Target="[DESKTOPSHORTCUTTARGETID]" /> <RegistryKey Id="DesktopShortcutRegistryRegistry" Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Electronic Arts\Installer Test Application" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall" /> <Condition>CREATEDESKTOPSHORTCUTS = 1</Condition> </Component> Output from Light: ApplicationFiles-neutral.wxs(297) : error LGHT0204 : ICE18: KeyPath for Component: 'Group0DeskTopShortcut' is Directory: 'INSTALLLOCATION'. The Directory/Component pair must be listed in the CreateFolders table. ApplicationFiles-neutral.wxs(297) : error LGHT0204 : ICE43: Component Group0DeskTopShortcut has non-advertised shortcuts. It should use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file. ApplicationFiles-neutral.wxs(297) : error LGHT0204 : ICE57: Component 'Group0DeskTopShortcut' has both per-user and per-machine data with a per-machine KeyPath Error 2 WiX source: <Component Id="RemoveShortcutFolders" Guid='$(var.RemoveShortcutFoldersGUID)' > <RemoveFolder Id="ProgramMenuGameDir" Directory="ProgramMenuDir" On="uninstall" /> <RemoveFolder Id="ProgramMenuVendor" Directory="PROGRAMMENUSTUDIO" On="uninstall" /> <RegistryKey Id='ProgramMenuRegistry' Root='HKCU' Key='Software\$(var.Studio)\$(var.ProductName)' Action='createAndRemoveOnUninstall'/> </Component> Output from Light: StandardInstallTemplate.wxs(84) : error LGHT0204 : ICE38: Component RemoveShortcutFolders installs to user profile. It must use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file. I've looked at ICE38 in the Windows Installer documentation, but it's not clear how I'm supposed to fix this in WiX. ICE38 error: Component Component1 installs to user profile. It must use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file. Description: The value of the attributes column of Component1 is 0, meaning that the component must use a file as its KeyPath. This causes difficulties when multiple users install the component on the same computer. To fix this error on Component1, set the RegistryKeyPath bit in the Attributes column of the Component table and change the entry in the KeyPath column to a value listed in the Registry column of the Registry table. Again, this worked with Wix build 2905, so either the consistency checking has become stricter in 3907 or the syntax for describing these WiX components has changed (or both) between those two builds.
