Summary: Same name, wrong file
Initial Comment:
I'm creating an installation which holds several files with filenames that are
identical but they reside in different directories. I have used heat to build
the file list as shown below. What happens is that I have 2 files with the same
name (resource.h) in different directories and during installation the same
file is copied to both directories. There seems to be a problem with spaces in
the Source tag as the file content is the same in all directories which starts
the same (before the space). The name of the file is copied correctly,
resource.h vs Resource.h like in the sample below, but the content and
timestamp comes from the second file.
I think this is a bug in the light command, but maybe it can be in the candle
instead.
I've used the build from 2007-05-11 (3.0.2911.0) but older builds (from feb)
give the same result.
<?define Src="..\release\" ?>
<Fragment>
<DirectoryRef Id="ex_1">
<Component Id="resource.h_1"
Guid="{6E1DBB54-C726-48C2-BE9C-5831999A42AC}">
<File Id="resource.h_1" Name="resource.h" KeyPath="yes"
Source="$(var.Src)Samples\ex 1\resource.h" />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>
<Fragment>
<DirectoryRef Id="ex_2">
<Component Id="Resource.h_1"
Guid="{463578C2-66F5-487F-9D7D-1AA7A509E4F5}">
<File Id="Resource.h_1" Name="Resource.h" KeyPath="yes"
Source="$(var.Src)Samples\ex 2\Resource.h" />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>

I think light and heat should both catch this.

The CAB format doesn't support two file IDs that differ only by case. It's
undefined which file will be produced when the different IDs are supplied.
The bug here is that WiX should be noting that the IDs aren't distinct.
Unfortunately, neither light nor heat detects/warns about it. If you change
the File/@Id attribute, you'll be fine.

Further investigation shows that the space in the Source tag does not
matter.
What matters is the File Id string... it is not case sensitive, and I
don't know if it should/must be.
Either heat.exe should not just make a case difference between the files,
or (better) the candle/light should be able to differ between the casing.
