Suppress ICE38 and ICE57? Run them post-compile to verify no new issues, but ignore the ones you know about?

Subject: [WiX-users] Advertised shortcuts triggering repair because of non-advertised shortcuts hkcu Hi Here's the scenario: Installer creates the following shortcuts: 1. Advertised shortcuts to executables. 2. Non-advertised shortcuts to documentation (PDF files) 3. Non-advertised shortcuts to folder. The non-advertised shortcuts are used to get the proper system-icons for the folders, and pdf icon for documentation. Because of ICE38 and ICE57, a HKCU is needed for the non-advertised shortcuts. The problem is that if user A installs the software and user B (or C) logs on to the same computer. When user B or C starts any of the advertised shortcuts, it will trigger a repair because of the HKCU requirement for non-advertised shortcuts. This is really a catch-22. The validation requires a HKCU, but that will trigger a repair requiring the original MSI, which might have been deleted, or installed from a CD. It is possible to cache the entire installer, but wasting GB's on the users harddrive because of a single HKCU issue isn't good practice, especially since it isn't a "real" issue. It's a installer validation issue. I can replace all shortcuts to be non-advertised, but that is not ideal, as a repair condition should be triggered if some of the files are really missing. Any suggestions? thanks, Leif ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
