You must be marking them shared using what becomes the msidbComponentAttributesSharedDllRefCount bit in the component table. You don't need this if the file is always deployed with an MSI-based setup because MSI does sharing based on component guids. The only reason this Dll ref count exists is for compatibility with files that may be deployed with non-MSI setups so that MSI ans non-MSI can share using that method. As the docs say, MSI will increment SharedDllRefCount if the count already exists so it's rare that you ever need to do anything.

Subject: [WiX-users] Shared Attribute handling while Upgrade Hi, I have marked the binaries deployed by the installer as Shared. It work fine if I install the msi and uninstall it. However if I tried to upgrade the existing product then the SharedDllRefCount increases to two. Hence after uninstalling the product the count becomes one and uninstallation does not remove these files. Have anyone faced the same problem mentioned above? Thanks and regards Swapnil.
