Your conclusions are correct. All you can do is ignore ICE57 in this case.

Subject: [WiX-users] Yet Another Question on Shortcuts and HKLM
Ok, I've been reading a lot and I understand many have asked this before and
many have received a lot of different answers.
The summary I get is:
If you want to install a shortcut for all users, set the ALLUSERS property
to 1 (or package@installScope="perMachine") which will make the
DesktopFolder (for example) be what you want, and use a registry key as
keypath. BUT, if you want, as you may be intending to, to place that
registry key under HKLM, your are basically screwed, because:
- ICE57 is outdated so it basically bothers you with nonsense warning/error
for this case (about mixing peruser and permachine stuff) so either:
- Supress it (and risk missing ICE57 errors that for other parts of
your installer might make sense) and place the keys wherever.
- Place the registry keys in HKCU and never mind about leaving garbage
in the registry if a different user uninstalls your application.
So the question would be: Is there a correct way to achieve creating
shortcuts for all users and placing the corresponding keys in HKLM?
And for confirmation: Is this definitely an error in the ICE57?
Thanks and regards.
Francisco
