The default Id thing was a recent addition. Wix 3.6 maybe. Your light error sounds like a possible Wix bug. Its cropped up on the list before but that person turned off validation to work around it. You could validate interactively with orca or instEd which aren't based on the Wix code. That's what we do to reduce build times - validation is only needed occasionally, if the installer changes. Adding a bug with a minimal project to reproduce would help it get fixed too.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Id for Component and File Ok, I also found the example in the documentation which uses same Id for Component and File... http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/add_a_file.htm But they (Id's) seems to be required, so I can't skip them. Also, the Error: LGHT0216 Can I get a better / more detailed description? I have tried to set "-val" for the Light.exe And use Smoke.exe to validate, but I just got the same message. //Sam ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
