Yes, i need change Id, but in current feature realization i also need change Name. Typically target file name is same to source file name, but not same to Id. See below example: <Directory Id="Dir1" Name="WebApp1"> ... <File Id="web.config.1" Source=”C:\Build\WebApp1\web.config” /> </Directory> <Directory Id="Dir2" Name="WebApp2"> ... <File Id="web.config.2" Source=”C:\Build\WebApp2\web.config” /> </Directory> In current wix realization i also need to set Name attribute. It not simplify setup developing in this cases. > Because the compiler already had support for defaulting Name from Id. > Defaulting Id from Source was a new feature that wasn't a breaking > change.

If you cannot improve this feature withot "Feature request", i will create it. -- Alexander Biryukov ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
