Summary: Deleting the .MSI if the ICE checks fail... not good?

Initial Comment:
If an ICE produces an error the .MSI seems to be 
deleted. This can lead to error messages that there is 
no straight-forward way to diagnose.

For example, given the following custom action:
<CustomAction 
    Id="Set_ARPREADME" 
    Property="ARPREADME" 
    Value="[TARGETDIR]\ReadMe.Txt"
    Execute="deferred" />

This compiles fine, links fine, but generates the 
following ICE error:
.\Product.wxs(142) : error LGHT0204 : ICE68: Invalid 
custom action type for action 'Set_ARPREADME'.

Because the error message does not display the custom 
action type it is a bit difficult to determine what 
exactly is wrong.

I'm sure it would be a lot of work... but shouldn't 
all the ICE checks be incorporated into Candle/Light 
directly? 

Regards,

Rob
