installs to user profile. It must use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file.

[hohums]

Thanks for your help so far,  Richard you are amazingly responsive.

I still haven't solved the internet explorer issue however I suddenly started getting these error messages.  I'm not sure what is causing them.  I was able to make a build before.  As far as I can tell I haven't changed anything since I was able to make a good msi before.  I can't seem to find any help online with anyone having similar issues.  I tried creating my build directory however that didn't help.

npGameCloud_auto.wxs(8) : error LGHT0204 : ICE38: Component cmpD674A5AAE9C0D38939FBE5F30B16F5DC installs to user profile. It must use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file.

npGameCloud_auto.wxs(8) : error LGHT0204 : ICE57: Component 'cmpD674A5AAE9C0D38939FBE5F30B16F5DC' has both per-user and per-machine data with a per-machine KeyPath.

My auto.wxs and np.wxs is below incase that helps.

Not sure what you changed, but you are no longer running the xslt stylesheet with heat; one of the things the xslt stylesheet does is fix the error.

I can tell it isn't running because there is no namespace prefix "w:" on your first .wxs file. If you aren't seeing that then you'll have the issue you describe.

Hum, your right.  It seems  changing -t: to -t didn't work as it doesn't run the xslt on subsequent runs or something.  Putting back in the t: makes it compile again.  I'm unsure how it let me compile before.  

I'm going to try installing an older version of wix.

Thanks for your help.
