[wix-users] LGHT1076 : ICE69 Warning

[Edwin Castro]

The warning is telling you that you have dependencies across components. In
general, you want to avoid cross-component dependencies as there is no
dependency management in the Windows Installer.

Suppose cmp3D0741021A18C938E0AC331AD6C5AACB needs to be reinstalled.
Perhaps  cmp7E6B68BFF737FB70CAC8D73CB7FE0612 should *also* be reinstalled
because some aspect of  fil53C5D05739C2A3C4EE2A76E39A7D31DF changed that
affects reg1FB4C3CE3B4B4D47EB0B430467F9413F. If this is the case, then
cmp3D0741021A18C938E0AC331AD6C5AACB might only get reinstalled when both
cmp3D0741021A18C938E0AC331AD6C5AACB and cmp7E6B68BFF737FB70CAC8D73CB7FE0612
should be reinstalled. Then again, it is possible that both components can
be reinstalled separately without problems. In that case, you can safely
ignore ICE69.

Make sure that you consider whether both components can be selected for
installation or removal separately. If they can, then you can get into
trouble and you will not want to ignore ICE69. The warning says the
components are in the same feature so they will very likely get installed
or removed together.
