Thanks MikeR. For example, The FileA sets file version , and FileB depends on FileA's version. In this case, I write the code as follows :
<Component Id="FILE_C_1" Guid= .... > <File Id="FILEA" Name="Server.exe" Source="$(var.SourceDir)Server.exe" /> </Component> <Component Id="FILE_C_2" Guid= .... > <File Id="FILEB" Name="Config.txt" CompanionFile="FILEA" /> </Component> Is this correct?
