Concerning the KeyPath concept, take a look at the Component table
definition (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368007.aspx) and
also at the great Rob's article here:

Hope this helps.

Subject: [WiX-users] KeyPath Concept & shared DLLs

Hello,

could someone explain to me, what exactly the KeyPath attribute
represents?
My installer project seems to work just fine without using this 
attribute, but every second WiX posting seems to talk about it without 
really explaining what it does. So I guess it could be important.

On another note:
If I want to install a dll file to the SystemFolder (and this dll could 
already be installed by a non wix installer - or could be tried to 
install later on by such an installer), ist it correct to set the 
SharedDllRefCount attribute of the file's component to 'yes' to create 
the needed registry settings? And is this all I have to do?

thanks in advance
~ Paul
