Hey Chris, > Is there a way to make it make the autogenerated flavor be like the way heat does it?
Short answer is no. The Ids in heat are done using a seed to keep them unique according to the output. Once moved into the Compiler/Linker level it would be a bit more tricky to get it 100% right to auto generate Ids (although not impossible). > declare a Directory of ProgramFilesFolder with a DefaultDir of . and put it in the heiraachy Are you still following the authoring guidelines on this? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367787.aspx For the GUID generation you could look at using Directory/@ComponentGuidGenerationSeed at the root directory of your merge modules.
