ICEM06 checks for invalid direct references to features by the module.

Merge module ICEs are stored in a merge module .cub file called Mergemod.cub and not in the .cub file containing the ICEs used for package validation.

Result

ICEM06 posts an error when the module database contains direct references to a feature. Feature information must be provided by the user of the module.

Example

ICEM06 posts the following error messages for a module containing the database entries shown below.

The target of shortcut Shortcut1.GUID1 is not a property and not a null GUID. 
Modules may not directly reference features.
The row GUID2.LocalServer32.Component2 in the Class table has a feature reference 
that is not a null GUID. Modules may not directly reference features.

Shortcut Table (partial)

Shortcut	Target
Shortcut1.GUID1	cmd.exe
Shortcut2.GUID1	[MyProp]
Shortcut3.GUID1	{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}

 

Class Table (partial)

CLSID	Context	Component_	Feature_
GUID1	LocalServer32	Component1	{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
GUID2	LocalServer32	Component2	MyFeature

 

ICEM06 reports the first error because the first record in the Shortcut table has an entry in the Target field that is not a property or a null GUID. A module cannot reference a feature directly. Feature information must be provided by the user of the module. To fix this error, references to a feature should be replaced by a null GUID.

ICEM06 reports the second error because the second record in the Class table has an entry in the Feature field that is not a null GUID. A module cannot reference a feature directly. Feature information must be provided by the user of the module. To fix this error, references to a feature should be replaced by a null GUID.
