Title Body

I'm trying to maintain some Wix code, and am getting the following warning: warning LGHT1076 : ICE57: Component 'FILE_MY_ASSOCIATION' has both per-user and per-machine data with an HKCU Registry KeyPath. From the following code: <Component Id="FILE_MY_ASSOCIATION" Guid="E1DF42A5-BD00-4a80-9BE5-B66A3EF0576E" Win64="$(var.Variables_Win64)"> <RegistryKey Root="HKCU" Key="Software\MyComany\MyProduct"> <RegistryValue Value="" Type="string" KeyPath="yes" /> </RegistryKey> <ProgId Icon="FILE_MY_FILETYPE_ICON" Id="MY_FILE_EXTENSION" Description="My Product File" > <Extension Id="myext" Advertise="no" > <Verb Id="Open" Argument="&quot;%1&quot;" TargetFile="MYUI_EXE_FILE"/> </Extension> </ProgId> </Component> I'm having trouble working out what's wrong or if this is a warning I really need to worry about. Do I need to worry about and fix this warning? Could the code as it is currently cause problems in some circumstances? Also, I'm wondering, why does the registry key use HKCU instead of HKLM. If I change it to HKLM. the warning goes away, but does this affect the behaviour of the installer? Thanks.
