Hey WIX Users,
I am using WIXv3 3.0.2921 build. And I am able to use automatic
component guid generation as stated by Derek in:
http://installing.blogspot.com/2006/09/automatically-generating-component.html
I also understand that this is a new feature in WIXv3 and may not
be stable enough to use.
I have the following questions regarding this:
1) As component guids are generated for every build, if I just do a
candle+light twice on my WIX code with just same binaries I get two different
guids. Am I right?
2) When are these guids generated? At compile time OR link time? Candle
time or light time? Because, we have a fragment which is locale independent
one and needs to carry the same GUID across all locale specific MSIs where this
fragment is absorbed. Hence, I am ok if it generates at compile/candle time.
Can someone confirm?
3) Can component guids change across service packs for the same binary?
That is, to generate a patch I will have a RTM MSI and then SP1 MSI which I
diff using MSP related tools to get a msp. Since, RTM MSI and SP1 MSI have
different GUIDs for same component (but same component id) how the MSP gets
effected?
Thanks a lot.
Thanks,
Laxmi
