ICE92

Windows Installer

ICE92

ICE92 verifies that a component without a Component Id GUID is not also specified as a permanent component. This ICE custom action checks the Component Table for components without a GUID specified in the ComponentId field and verifies that the msidbComponentAttributesPermanent flag has not been set in the Attributes field. ICE92 also verifies that no component has both the msidbComponentAttributesPermanent and msidbComponentAttributesUninstallOnSupersedence attributes.

If the ComponentId column is null, the installer does not register the component and the component cannot be removed or repaired by the installer.

Result

ICE92 posts the following error.

ICE92 error Description
The Component '[1]' has no ComponentId and is marked as permanent. The entry for this component in the Component table has null in the ComponentId column and has msidbComponentAttributesPermanent in the Attributes column.
