Message 1 (Error)

File [1] in Component [2] is a Windows Protected File. Protected files may not be distributed to Windows Vista and later.

[1] is the name of a file in your project, and [2] is the name of the component that contains that file.

Message 2 (Warning)

File [1] in Component [2] has the same file name as a Windows Protected File, but appears to be distributed to a different path.

[1] is the name of a file in your project, and [2] is the name of the component that contains that file.

Description

ISICE06 verifies that your installation does not install files that are protected by Windows Resource Protection (WRP). WRP is designed to ensure that protected system resources are updated on Windows Vista and later machines only through Microsoft-approved installation or update mechanisms.

If your installation installs a file that has the same name as a Windows Protected File, but the file is not installed to the same location as the Windows Protected File, warning message 2 is displayed.

Corrective Action

To resolve the validation error, remove the file that is mentioned in the error message from your project.

If you encounter the validation warning, determine if the file that is mentioned in the message is a protected file:

If the file is not a protected file but it has the same name as a protected file, you can ignore this warning.
If the file is a protected file, remove it from your project to resolve this warning.

If your product requires newer versions of system components, the components must be updated on target machines by using a Microsoft service pack or a Microsoft-approved installation package that contains the system component. System components should not be repackaged.
