Hello All,

 

Our company puts out a release of our software once a year.  By default, it
gets installed in a directory that is unique every year. I just started
using WIX last release and we have a new one coming up.  Our customers will
often keep the old version during a transition.  My question is I always
update the product Id and UpgradeCode GUIDs and the install directories
Guid, but I assume I should be upgrading every Component GUID (DirectoryRef)
also, correct?  If I kept the GUIDs for the Components the same and they
uninstalled last year's version, what would be the effects? Would those
directories stay if I uninstalled the new version?  There are a lot of
DirectoryRefs and putting new GUIDs on them is time consuming.

 

I realize I could just test this and find out, but I figured I would inquire
first before doing any registry damage.

 

Thanks,

 

John
