In this blog http://www.joyofsetup.com/2007/12/07/simplifying-the-wix-v3-language/ Bob talks about the new file defaults. I think I have spotted a problem with this and can't find and existing bug report. Before I raise one could someone confirm that this doesn't handle Id illegal characters properly, e.g. for Source="My-File.txt" it uses the Id="My-File.txt" which is not legal. It also fails if there are spaces in the file name.


Yep. In those cases, you need an explicit Id. Defaulting Name and Id from Source is a shortcut, not a replacement.

The other problem is probably not a bug but if you have the same file name installed in to different folders (e.g. as you would with language resources) it doesn't work as all the file Id's are the same. I would guess that somehow adding the folder patch to the Id would be too complicated.


See above. We don't munge the Id, just default it. Otherwise it would be more difficult to use [#FileId] in formatted fields.
