-            MSI validation still assumes an installation for the whole machine.
-            Installing into the user's own profile trips three of its rules: a
-            component whose key path is a file (ICE38), a folder it wants listed
-            for removal (ICE64), and a warning that the files will not follow other
-            users of the machine (ICE91). All three describe exactly what was
-            intended here, so they are turned off rather than worked around.
+            The ICE checks run inside the Windows Installer service, and a build
+            agent has no access to it: every single check comes back as WIX0217,
+            "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed", and the build
+            fails on close to a hundred of them. Since the release is built by the
+            agent, validation cannot be part of it.
+
+            It stays switchable rather than deleted: -p:SuppressValidation=false
+            turns it back on where the service does answer, which is any ordinary
+            desktop machine.
