Hi, I got a problem during uninstall: Our COM project (build by install shield) and WIX project shared some common files. In WIX, during uninstall, I want to check if our COM project is installed or not through registry. If COM project is installed, I don’t want to uninstall these shared component; if not, I want to uninstall these components. I tried the following code:
<Property Id="COM_INSTALLED"> <RegistrySearch Id="COM_Installed" Key="SOFTWARE\...\Current Version" Root="HKLM" Type="raw" Win64="$(var.Win64)" /> </Property> ... <Component Id="File1" Guid="..." DiskId="1" Permanent ="yes" Transitive ="yes" > <Condition ></Condition> <File Id="File_file1" Name="file1.dll" Source="C:\temp\file1.dll" KeyPath="yes" Checksum="yes"/> </Component> <Component Id="File1" Guid="..." DiskId="1" Transitive ="yes" > <Condition ></Condition> <File Id="File_file1" Name="file1.dll" Source="C:\temp\file1.dll" KeyPath="yes" Checksum="yes"/> </Component> However, I got error "Duplicate symbol 'Component:File1' found. This typically means that an Id is duplicated. Check to make sure all your identifiers of a given type (File, Component, Feature) are unique." Any idea about how should I make the logic work?
