If I move the shortcut to another component with a RegistryValue KeyPath with Root="HKMU" then I can avoid ICE43 and the shortcut will be created in the "All Users" profile. This doesn't 'feel' right though, it seems that there is an obvious bug in ICE since the shortcut is configured to go to a per-machine location and ICE just doesn't recognise that.
Also, I still get ICE57. Google reveals that others seem to think ICE57 is irrelevant - I even found this forum post ( http://forum.installsite.net/index.php?s=15f9befa23ef0eba0bdb1cb79934aebd&showtopic=15991&st=0&#entry46021) which mentions that its going to be removed from the Vista certification doc. I did a quick search but can't find a recent Vista certification doc or anything else to confirm that. Can anyone else confirm this? Thanks in advance.
