I'm getting some behaviour which surprised me... if I have the following
in a merge module
<Directory Id="CommonFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="CommonFilesFolder_A" Name="A">
<Directory Id="CommonFilesFolder_B" Name="B">
<Component Id="test.txt" Guid="*">
<File Id="test.txt" Source="d:\temp\test.txt"/>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
then when I build an installer using this merge module, I get a number
of messages like
light.exe(0,0): warning LGHT1076: ICE82: This action
CommonFilesFolder_B.E2FF78A9_BB72_4A5F_A259_16A004F2BFDF
has duplicate sequence number 1 in the table InstallExecuteSequence
and the file test.txt is installed directly in the CommonFilesFolder
(rather than in the subdirectory A\B below it).
If I change the Ids of the subfolder Directory elements to
<Directory Id="CommonFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="XCommonFilesFolder_A" Name="A">
<Directory Id="XCommonFilesFolder_B" Name="B">
<Component Id="test.txt" Guid="*">
<File Id="test.txt" Source="d:\temp\test.txt"/>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
(i.e insert an 'X' at the start), then I get no warning messages, and
the file test.txt is installed in the correct location.
Are there some Id name rules I'm not aware of?
