I would rather use one dummy

I don't really see how companion files would help in this situation.

problems when using directory as keypath
I'm using the scheme described at MSDN
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368269(VS.85).aspx) to organize
my setup into components.
Given a single directory, all files without version information (e.g. *.jpg,
etc.) are grouped together into a s
directory as keypath
Yes spot on, I have pedantic on. As a natural pendant why wouldn't I!

MSI uses the keypath to determine whether a component needs to be updated.

Rob, is that true - if you don't specify a KeyPath you get this error:

I'm using the scheme described at MSDN
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368269(VS.85).aspx) to organize
my setup into components.
Given a single directory, all files without version information (e.g. *.jpg,
etc.) are grouped together into a single component which has the directory
as its
18 matches
