Hello,

As this is my first time in authoring WiX source files, I have a need to use
the same component group (hence components) in different features.
The 'shared' components will only ever be installed in one location.

What I would like to understand is if there are any dangers in this doing
this?

I have also noticed that if I uninstall a feature, the 'shared' components
within that feature are not deleted. I can see why this is the case as there
is another feature referencing it but how does the Windows Installer do
this? The features themselves have no unique identifiers (ie no GUIDs) other
than the string feature id which have to be unique.

Many thanks,
Anil.
