received during validation:
ICE03:
- WARNING: String overflow
- INSTANCES: 24
- TABLES: Component, Registry
- DESCRIPTION: The string's length is greater than the column width
specified by the column definition. Note that the installer does not
internally limit the column width to the specified value. There is
no adverse effect to this condition.
ICE09
- WARNING: Component is a non-permanent system component
- INSTANCES: 1
- TABLES: Component
- DESCRIPTION: PerfectDisk installs PDBoot.exe to
\\Windows\System32\PDBoot.exe
This is the only location Windows supports for running native code
during the boot process. When PerfectDisk is uninstalled, this file
will be removed.
ICE33
- WARNING: Reg key is used in an unsupported way
- INSTANCES: 189
- TABLES: Registry
- DESCRIPTION: COM registry keys were placed in the Registry table.
The warning informs you that these could have been written to the
TypeLib, ProgId, Class and AppId tables. Writing to TypeLib,
ProgId, Class and AppId would allow advertised installation of
the COM object when called. PerfectDisk does not support this as
these COM interfaces are not shared by multiple products. Advertised
installation is supported by launching the user interface (PerfectDisk.exe).
ICE45
- WARNING: Row in table Control has bits set in Attributes column
that are reserved.
- INSTANCES: 2
- TABLE: Control
- DESCRIPTION: RemoveNow and InstallNow buttons have the
Elevation Shield attribute set as required by Microsoft. See:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368772(VS.85).aspx
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368344(VS.85).aspx
ICE82
- WARNING: This action has duplicate sequence number in the table
- INSTANCES: 10
- TABLE: InstallExecuteSequence, InstallUISequence, AdminExecuteSequence,
AdminUISequence, AdvExecuteSequence
- DESCRIPTION: PerfectDisk uses merge modules:
policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm / Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm and
policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x64.msm / Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x64.msm
respectively for X86 and X64 processors. These merge modules were
authored incorrectly by Microsoft and both insert themselves
using the same sequence number. There is no adverse effect to this
condition.
ICE83
- WARNING: The key path for Global Win32 SXS Assembly SHOULD NOT
be it's manifest file.
- INSTANCES: 1
- TABLE: MSIAssembly, Component
- DESCRIPTION: Merge Module policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm,
and policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x64.msm authored by Microsoft have
set the Component.KeyPath and MSIAssembly.File_Manifest to be the
same value. This is a bug in Microsoft's Merge Module for side
by side dlls. There is no adverse effect to this condition.

6. Windows Server 2008 Certification Requirement 2.1.
* Requirement: Document any Internal Consistency Check (ICE) Warnings
received during validation:
ICE03:
- WARNING: String overflow
- INSTANCES: 24
- TABLES: Component, Registry
- DESCRIPTION: The string's length is greater than the column width
specified by the column definition. Note that the installer does not
internally limit the column width to the specified value. There is
no adverse effect to this condition.
ICE09
- WARNING: Component is a non-permanent system component
- INSTANCES: 1
- TABLES: Component
- DESCRIPTION: PerfectDisk installs PDBoot.exe to
\\Windows\System32\PDBoot.exe
This is the only location Windows supports for running native code
during the boot process. When PerfectDisk is uninstalled, this file
will be removed.
ICE33
- WARNING: Reg key is used in an unsupported way
- INSTANCES: 189
- TABLES: Registry
- DESCRIPTION: COM registry keys were placed in the Registry table.
The warning informs you that these could have been written to the
TypeLib, ProgId, Class and AppId tables. Writing to TypeLib,
ProgId, Class and AppId would allow advertised installation of
the COM object when called. PerfectDisk does not support this as
these COM interfaces are not shared by multiple products. Advertised
installation is supported by launching the user interface (PerfectDisk.exe).
ICE45
- WARNING: Row in table Control has bits set in Attributes column
that are reserved.
- INSTANCES: 2
- TABLE: Control
- DESCRIPTION: RemoveNow and InstallNow buttons have the
Elevation Shield attribute set as required by Microsoft. See:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368772(VS.85).aspx
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368344(VS.85).aspx
ICE82
- WARNING: This action has duplicate sequence number in the table
- INSTANCES: 10
- TABLE: InstallExecuteSequence, InstallUISequence, AdminExecuteSequence,
AdminUISequence, AdvExecuteSequence
- DESCRIPTION: PerfectDisk uses merge modules:
policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm / Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm and
policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x64.msm / Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x64.msm
respectively for X86 and X64 processors. These merge modules were
authored incorrectly by Microsoft and both insert themselves
using the same sequence number. There is no adverse effect to this
condition.
ICE83
- WARNING: The key path for Global Win32 SXS Assembly SHOULD NOT
be it's manifest file.
- INSTANCES: 1
- TABLE: MSIAssembly, Component
- DESCRIPTION: Merge Module policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm,
and policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x64.msm authored by Microsoft have
set the Component.KeyPath and MSIAssembly.File_Manifest to be the
same value. This is a bug in Microsoft's Merge Module for side
by side dlls. There is no adverse effect to this condition.
