ICE Reference

An ICE is used to validate installation packages. The table in this topic identifies each ICE. For information about ICEMs used to validate merge modules, see Merge Module ICE Reference.

ICE Description
ICE01 Simple test of ICE mechanism.
ICE02 Circular reference test for File-Component, Registry-Component KeyPaths.
