I believe heat is using the path to the file as a "seed" of sorts when generating the GUID. As such, if you are using relative paths and both of them match then the GUIDs would be the same.

(wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net) Subject: [WiX-users] Heat creates duplicate IDs Hi All, Does anyone know how Heat generates the component and file ID's? Here is the situation: I have two folders, and those folders contain some of the same files (dll's and such). If I run Heat on both of those directories it creates the same component and file IDs for those like files. Is there any way to avoid this? Is it a bug?
