What are the consequences of ICE27 errors?

Question

Can someone comment on what consequences would there be if the following ICE27 exceptions were left as is?

 'SetODBCFolders' Action in AdvtExecuteSequence table in wrong place. Current: Execution, Correct: Selection
Action: 'SetODBCFolders' in AdvtExecuteSequence table must come before the 'InstallValidate' action. Current seq#: 1100. Dependent seq#: 300.
'ValidateProductID' Action in InstallExecuteSequence table in wrong place. Current: Execution, Correct: Search

Answer

These ICE errors indicate wrong sequences of standard actions. You need to correct them. SetODBCFolders action needs to come before InstallValidate action, otherwise the target directory for ODBC driver will not be set correctly. ValidateProductID action needs to come before RegisterUser action.
