How exactly does the Guid="*" work? I've seen and read this in the WiX SDK before.
The <Component>, <Package>, <Patch>, <Product> elements support auto-generation of GUIDs every time you build your project by specifying a * in place of the GUID. The way it reads to me it sounds like the GUID would get randomly changed every time I build my WiX project. In fact, I have used this on Product elements in some projects and that does change the GUID on every build. If this works differently for Component elemnts and the GUID is determined in a consistent fashion, what does it use to determine the GUID so that I can be assured my component GUIDs won't change without my knowledge? I've worked with Windows Installer long enough to know that following component rules is key, else you get screwed on upgrades and patches down the road. So I'm quite cautious when it comes to these things. BTW, the product I'm working on has not shipped yet. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/WiX-syntax-for-GUIDs-for-32-bit-64-bit-components-tp4440404p4441758.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
