I received the following error reported on build 3.0.4214.0 (I think it is the same issue, except this build of WiX didn't report all the individual ICE action failures)

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] LGHT0217 & VSTS Hey John, Out of curiosity, do you get similar errors on a previous build? I am curious to see if this is native to the new change or this is going to fail in the past as well.
