1. How do you manage updates to the "database" in source control? Do people update the file before building or does the build machine checkout/checkin automatically? If the latter, what source control systems does it support... (you can see where I'm going <smile/>)?
2. How is this better than using auto-generated-stable Guids? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Hall Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 01:28 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

It needs to get the same Component and GUID. I have written a tool that auto-generates .wxs files for some parts of my project - we ship a lot of example scripts. It only handles files and generates one component per file. The tool maintains a database (well, an XML file) that lists all the GUIDs ever allocated, and adds entries as it needs. That file is kept in source control. This seems to work well for me - have I missed something important?
