The guid is generated from the full path to the file e.g. "C:\Program Files\My Folder\MyFile.ext", are you able to share the file names?
Also, you don't seem to be using the syntax I suggested: <Component> <File Source="...." /> </Component> Note the File/@Source is the only attribute in the File element. The Guid="*" is not required in WiX 3.5 or later (http://www.joyofsetup.com/2009/12/31/simplifying-wix-component-authorin g/).

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] GUID Autogen question I have seen this before and I think it is because you have a period in the component name, try simply using this syntax: <Component> <File Source="...." /> </Component> You component id will then be the filename.

I'm attempting to use the GUID="*" (Autogen ) on the components. However, on each of the component statments I am getting an ICE08 Component ... has a duplicate GUID. The GUID value in the error message is the same for all 3 errors (component lines). Can you only autogen 1 GUID in a wix install or am I using it incorrectly? I'm using VS2010, Wix version 3.6.1112.0.
