Per-user setup example fails with ICE enabled

[mind-bending-forks]

The per-user setup example project has ICE validation suppressed. If it is enabled, it fails to build. The output obtained is as follows:

For our own implementation, we managed to overcome this as follows, although the procedure was very tedious (and is not necessarily the best way)!

• A component with RemoveFile was added for each directory within the user profile.
• Then, all components were given a registry value with KeyPath="yes". (We had one registry value and file per component, and one component for every file.)
• Then, for some reason, GUIDs could no longer be generated automatically and so we had to manually specify one for each component.
