I'm performing testing for what will be involved in migrating our deployment
projects from WiX 3.5 to 3.6. I am currently testing with build 3.6.2928.0.
Things have gone well mostly but on one of our products I'm receiving errors
from light. Here is one example of the error.
error LGHT0369: Component/@Id='C_Esri10_NewWorld.NG.ESRI.Areas.dll_GIS' has
a @Guid value '{20D8D47B-E9BC-5D0A-BBB5-E1A919A23C28}' that duplicates
another component in this package. It is recommended to give each component
its own unique GUID.
Here is some background info on why this error is being triggered.
We have a set of assemblies that build upon core ESRI components. We are
supporting ESRI v9 and v10 so I've got two WiX projects that produce a
.wixlib with a similar set of assemblies - one for ESRI v9 and another for
ESRI v10 which then both get consumed by a few WiX projects to produce an
MSI that can install either set of the assemblies conditionally. These
assemblies have the same name and are configured to install to the same
directory within WiX and since I'm using Guid="*" on these components, WiX
is generating duplicate GUIDs. I'm aware of this and it's intended. I'm
using mutually exclusive component conditions based on detection of ESRI on
the target system to avoid Windows Installer component rule issues.
Previously in 3.5, I was able to circumvent this error by ignoring ICE08.
It seems that this ICE error was changed to be directly handled by the WiX
toolset in 3.6 and now I am unable to circumvent it. Has anyone else run
into this issue? Could a member of the WiX team verify if this has indeed
changed and if so, offer any advice on how to deal with this scenario in
3.6.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike Rudge
