[WiX-users] Associate file extension

[puyo puy]

Hi Everyone,
 
I want to create a feature allow user to associate a file extension to one of my distubuted applicatio but it comes up with the following error message:
 
error LGHT0204 : ICE69: Mismatched compone
nt reference. Entry 'reg025239CBB8E309CA4AF78D766B8DBDE4' of the Registry table
belongs to component 'ExtensionComponent'. However, the formatted string in colu
mn 'Value' references file 'notepad2' which belongs to component 'MyComponent'.
Components belong to different features
 
In my sample I create 1 feature for normal install and other feature to associate file extension.  The reason I put it in different feature because only user enable feature 2 will associate the extension.  Can anyone tell me what is wrong?  I already read the Wix help file but it won't help.

Components belong to different features

If the components were in the same feature, it'd be a warning. MSI is
telling you that it's possible to end up in a situation with dependent
components not being installed. If your feature structure and conditions
are correct, you can suppress the error; MSI isn't analyzing them.
