The Windows Installer behavior is not defined if you ignore the length warnings. Things might work on your machine or things might work on all machines today or things might not on any machine except yours or things might break tomorrow. That's the beautiful part about undefined behavior. You don't know what you're going to get. <smile/>

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Warning CNDL 1026 - can ignore ? If you check the Component table in Orca you see that the Component field (same as component id in WiX) is defined with length 72. Unless WiX have special handling to reduce the length for longer strings and keep them unique, I would not exceed this limit. Jon A.

Subject: [WiX-users] Warning CNDL 1026 - can ignore ? Hi, I am getting the following warning: *warning CNDL1026: The **Component/@Id* <Component/@Id>* attribute value ... is too long for an identifier, Standard identifiers are 72 characters long or less.* ** Please, do you know what are the implications of ignoring this warning? I use pretty long ids in order to identify the fragment name and file name, etc in each component.
