I don't quite follow. 1. The KeyPath will be set however the non-WiX-based MSI creation tool sets it. That's very much dependent on how the tool works.
2. If someone rewrites their installation package in WiX after using some other tool then they will need to understand how the WiX toolset works. Right? Note: if that person used dark to decompile their non-WiX-based installation package to get started in WiX then the KeyPath will be set explicitly (because dark is pedantic like that). 3. If the migration from one MSI creation tool to a different MSI creation tool changes the KeyPath then the "installation problems" that come with changing the KeyPath of a Component will happen (if any). That has nothing to do with the WiX toolset and everything to do with the migration (again, note dark is pedantic and would do the right thing). _____________________________________________________________ Short replies here.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] KeyPath by default? In other words, 1) someone builds an MSI with a non-WiX tool with a component with no KeyPath that uses the MSI default of the containing directory and then 2) builds an upgrade/patch/whatever MSI that similarly contains no KeyPath definition and WiX chooses something else as the KeyPath and 3) they get "installation problems"?
