Actually, yes. WiX documentation trumps here: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/component.html
KeyPath YesNoType If this attribute's value is set to 'yes', then the Directory of this Component is used as the KeyPath. To set a Registry value or File as the KeyPath of a component, set the KeyPath attribute to 'yes' on one of those child elements. If KeyPath is not set to 'yes' for the Component or for a child Registry value or File, WiX will look at the child elements under the Component in sequential order and try to automatically select one of them as a key path. Allowing WiX to automatically select a key path can be dangerous because adding or removing child elements under the Component can inadvertantly cause the key path to change, which can lead to installation problems. _____________________________________________________________ Short replies here.
