Hi,
Even I need a solution for this. I want dark to give me long names.
It's a headache when you have to update files when you are using darked wxs.
Thanks,
Nitin

Hi
I am installing some drivers (intermediate filter driver).
During update of the product the driver needs to be uninstalled and
installed again (I am not sure why).
My problem is that the uninstallation of the driver sometimes ends
with NETCFG_S_REBOOT error (success but reboot is required to co
Hi Jerome,
The way I solved the GUID problem was to store the mapping (file -> GUID) to a
file (as xml). This mapping is automatically updated (lazy allocation of new
guids for new files) and used by the automation to re-generate the wix file.
Off course, that might be tricky to implement in XS

Yes, I've read the documentation, and am working very hard to circumvent
the requirement to manage the GUIDs. It is an administrative burden

Ok, I like this since I think it makes alot of sense for your SCM / staging
structure to mirror your deployment strucutre. Is there a switch to Heat that
tells it to not create a source attribute?
My developers really aren't interested in doing search/replace, running XML

I've heard that argument before ( configuration data is a pain ) and I
disagree. When you take that approach it is still a real pain to deploy an
application with large systems like SMS. You end up with an MSI that can
`install` an application, but to actually get it configured and usable is
Now that's cool. Thanks for the tip!

You can also omit the Source attribute entirely, if the file is in the
directory indicated by the Directory element hierarchy and has the same
name.

As to documentation on the -gg switch, I found out about -
No. Components don't work that way. I encourage you to check out the
documentation about Components and the rules for updating their GUIDs.
Managing the GUIDs is (unfortunately) a very important part of the Windows
Installer development process.

Yes, what you have is a very non-optimal application design for declarative
installation. There was a thread a few days ago about static configuration vs.
dynamic configuration. Static configuration (including application defaults)
should be in the installation package. Dynamic configuration
Is there anyway to make a component that contains directories? I'd like
to attempt, if possible, to make a single component for my entire
package. It would certainly ease versioning (there is no way I am
keeping track of a dozen component Guids manually).

Then what I described should help you. Remember, properties don't persist
after the installation. So if your UI set the property and/or your
application later changed it, a simple AppSearch will `prime the pump` if you
will and cause the same data to be written back out if the component rei

Rob, you say "played games like this". You seem to be implying I'm doing

I haven't played games like this with the Windows Installer but my

KeyPath is being updated) then the whole Component gets written.

Can you provide more information about what stopped working? A verbose log

dig into.
