We remove this in two ways...
Use the question mark GUID for the Id to generate a new Product Id each build, or use a define to define the code. The compiler doesn't know if this changes or not and so doesn't care (we then change the define in the wxi file whenever we do a brand new release). I recommend the ????????-????-????-????-???????????? route. On Wed, Sep 3, 2008 at 16:23, Jay H.
