I am curious to know how WiX keeps track of GUIDSs automatically generated

WixToolPathC:\SourceControl\WiX39\/WixToolPath
Thanks to everyone for your responses. This helps a great deal and I am

, from that file you can see that Suffix is an empty string for x86
platforms, is “_x64” for x64 platforms, is “_ia64” for ia64 platforms, and is
“_ARM” for arm platforms. ia64 was removed in v3.8. I don’t recall which
version arm was added in.
