Quick background on what I'm working on: I am creating a new WIX installer after years of using Install Shield for multiple of our PowerBuilder applications. The PB apps use files from our .Net applications and control libraries, so therefore are receiving files from multiple locations. These external apps and libraries collections are built through TFS and also share files between them. We also have an internal TFS plugin to retrieve the output from these external builds and drop them to the installer source locations before the build is executed.
Because the internal and external files are under regular modification I've been setting up the WIX installer to use Harvest tasks (File and Directory) to automatically retrieve them from the installer build source location. The issue that I am currently running into is with the duplicate files in the various files and the HarvestDirectory is causing "duplicate symbol" errors. "Error 8 Duplicate symbol 'Component:cmp4F01576ED2586AF9D280A187DB1A1557' 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. " Is there a way to get around the duplicate files or allow the duplication since they are going to the same location.
