Hey Dominik,
The Component/@Guid="*" is the valid way to auto generate GUIDs. There is
another switch -gg that generates GUIDs for you. What issue are using seeing
using the "*"?
Hi Brian,
sorry for mixing Component/@Guid and Heat issue in my first message
yes but not if only a <CreateFolder> Element is places in Component:
<Directory Id="dir1" Name="EmptyDir">
<Component Id="cmp1" Guid="*" KeyPath="yes">
<CreateFolder />
</Component>
</Directory>
I'll get following error:
"The Component/@Guid attribute's value '*' is not valid for this component
because it does not meet the some of the criteria for having an automatically
generated guid. Only components with no ODBCDataSource child elements and
either exactly one file which is the key path or no files and a registry with
no Property substitutions as the key path may use an automatically generated
guid."
So my solution is to remove the asterisk from Component/@Guid
<Component Id="cmp1" Guid="" KeyPath="yes">
<CreateFolder />
</Component>
My very first question is: Is it valid to use an empty Component/@Guid for
CreateFolder (and RemoveFolder as I use this too)
Side Note: I also tried -gg switch on Heat, but then I always get different
guids on each run. Where Guid="*" is supposed to created stable Guids as long
as the path remains stable.
Best Regards
Dominik
