Re: [WiX-users] heat.exe: How to generate unique but human readable IDs for directories, components and files

2015-04-22 Thread bogser

A BA (native or managed) could be implemented to support downgrades. As I would guess, wixstdba does not (normally it'd be a very surprising and bad thing). _ Short replies here. Complete answers over there: http://www.firegiant.com/ -
