I recently filed bug 4448, in which the following response was posted:
Versioned companion files are atypical and would seem to bring their
own problems for upgrades and patching. We don't plan to expand *
GUIDs to cover this case.
That bug is probably not the right place to ask this, so I'm posting it
here instead:
What are those problems with upgrades and patching?
I recently posted a question here about overriding file versions (so
that an installer containing a few third-party files whose versions have
decreased will still install those files over the ones that were already
in place when doing an upgrade), and the solution I settled on (the only
one which didn't require me to suppress one or more consistency checks)
was to mark these files as companions so their own version is
disregarded. From what I've been able to test, that works fine, but the
comment above makes me wonder if I'm missing anything.
Thanks,
Jesper
