Add a generated registry value to each component and set that as the keypath.

Subject: [WiX-users] Build a directory structure using foreach? I would like to set up a directory structure under CommonAppDataFolder that looks something like this: OrderImport +- ProviderA +- Drop +- History +- Error +- ProviderB +- Drop +- History +- Error and so on... Not much more than this, but enough that I was very happy to discover the foreach statement: <?define OIProviders=ProviderA;ProviderB;ProviderZ?> <?define OIFolders=Drop;Error;History?> <Directory Id="CommonAppDataFolder"> <Directory Id="OrderImport" Name="OrderImport"> <?foreach provider in $(var.OIProviders)?> <Directory Id="$(var.provider)" Name="$(var.provider)"> <?foreach dir in $(var.OIFolders)?> <Directory Id="$(var.provider)$(var.dir)" Name="$(var.dir)"> <Component Id="$(var.provider)$(var.dir)"> <CreateFolder/> </Component> </Directory> <?endforeach?> </Directory> <?endforeach?> </Directory> </Directory> Which of course fails miserably with an error 39. "The Component/@Guid attribute's value '*' is not valid for this component because it does not meet the criteria for having an automatically generated guid. Components with 0 files cannot use an automatically generated guid." I am probably approaching this all wrong.
