Hey Chris, I am not very familiar with creating an ICE DB but, according to Windows Installer (Sample .cub File<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371525(VS.85).aspx>) it is similar to an MSI. I would imagine you could author an MSI and change the extension to .cub. The other option would be to write a validation extension.
