I have additional question. As I've specified in one of my previous posts,
we have two versions of our product (Desktop and Enterprise). Both versions
can be installed on the same computer on the same time but in __different
folders__. There is a set of files that should be included to both
installations, and I don't want to make it shared. Is it allowed to write
something like this:
<?if $(var.DesktopType) = "_DESKTOP"?>
<?define ProductName="Desktop Product" ?>
<?define
ProductCode="7D2FCEFA-589C-455c-B46A-AE0C8A063319"?>
<?define
UpgradeCode="5C97CED3-EEC9-40c7-9D8C-215FFCE9EBB6"?>
<?else?>
<?define ProductName="Enterprise Product" ?>
<?define
ProductCode="B7D88ED8-525C-48b7-9180-CB08F8A033E6"?>
<?define
UpgradeCode="CE86E2A8-8B96-4543-804E-4D3C3C3D2C45"?>
<?endif?>
....
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";
xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";>
<Product Id="$(var.ProductCode)"
Name="$(var.ProductName)"
Language="1033"
Version="$(var.ProductVersion)"
Manufacturer="$(var.Manufacturer)"
UpgradeCode="$(var.UpgradeCode)">
..
<DirectoryRef Id="PFAPPLICATIONROOTDIRECTORY">
<Component Id="ComponentCoreBaseLibrary"
Guid="B7D378C2-1BA3-4e89-9CC4-265C7F5D9B8F">
<CreateFolder/>
<File Id="ProductApi.dll"
Name="ProductApi.dll" Source="..\Bin\ProductApi.dll" />
<File Id="ProductBl.dll"
Name="ProductBl.dll" Source="..\Bin\ProductBl.dll" />
....
So, after the build with different var.DesktopType value I will receive two
MSI with different Product / Upgrade codes. But each of this MSIs will
contain component with same GUID. Is it OK?
Is it allowed to have components with same GUID across products with
different Product / Upgrade codes? Does installer recognize component by
Product / Upgrade Code GUID + Component GUID combination? I know that it
will be better to generate new GUIDs for components in different products,
but it is a little difficult to generate different GUIDs for each component.
Thanks.
