The function GenerateIdentifier in CompilerCore.cs seems to generate an id based on component id, root, key and name. I have different keys I would think (one is Chilkat.AppSettings, and the other ChilkatUtil.AppSettings), however the same id's are generated.
Also tried with latest 3.5 beta and 3.6.0910.0 and 3.6.0905.0, the same error is reported. However, on sf.net the bug is marked as resolved ? The option to translate the prog id into its own registryvalue nodes is rather difficult to do in my case because my build tool auto-generates the wix code and it should be future proof. Thanks for the suggestions so far. 2010/9/13 Bryan Reich <bryan.re...@microsoft.com> > > https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2927773&group_id=105970&atid=642714 > > You may have to upgrade to newer bits or break out the second progId into > its constituant registry keys outside of the class element in the wix to > work around the bug. > -- > Bryan > > ________________________________________ > From: Pally Sandher [pally.sand...@iesve.com] > Sent: Monday, September 13, 2010 6:33 AM > To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Light error for COM dll with multiple prog id's > for thesame class > > Ah my apologies.
