C# Class WixSharp.AutoElements

Automatically insert elements required for satisfy odd MSI restrictions.

- You must set KeyPath you install in the user profile.

- You must use a registry key under HKCU as component's KeyPath, not a file.

- The Component element cannot have multiple key path set.

- The project must have at least one directory element.

- All directories installed in the user profile must have corresponding RemoveDirectory elements.

...

The MSI always wants registry keys as the key paths for per-user components. It has to do with the way profiles work with advertised content in enterprise deployments. The fact that you do not want to install any registry doesn't matter. MSI is the boss.
