As a beginner, although I already read through the wix tutorial, still have some questions on guid attribute on component element:
1. same guid in different product: if I accidentally copied a guid from a component in product A to another component in product B. What happened if I install product B after product A is installed, does msi will rollback since there is same guid in different product ? 2. same component in same product but in different version Assuming in product 1.1, I have a component which contains foo.exe. Then when product 1.2 is released, I still have a component which contains foo.exe, but foo.exe is updated, e.g. different from the one in 1.1, so 2.1 shall I use different guid for this component if I change the Version attribute of product ? 2.2 shall I use same guid for this component if I does not change the Version attribute of product ? 3. dynamically generate guid for same component in same product in same version Can I dynamically generate guid for every component in build, which means my build script will dynamically create guid for each component, in this way, every time I build my msi, every component will get different guid from last time, is that OK or bad practice ?
