Hi Ravi, Heat creates its unique file/component references based on the source name of the file. So if you change the name, or the relative location of the source file, then the file reference may well change. I believe there is a way to force it to not generate new references, however I've found that generally it's not a problem since it's really not so common to be modifying the filename anyway.
It's probably very important to note however that if you allow WiX to dynamically create your component IDs that you shouldn't be renaming / moving the source files for these components unless you will be forcing a major upgrade. Since changing component IDs on a minor upgrade is getting into dangerous territory.
