Summary: CompanionFile attributes not honoured
Initial Comment:
The CompanionFile attribute does not appear to work; the Version field in the
Component table is filled in with the file's version rather than its companion
file's.
Candle is getting it right - I see that world.exe has hello.exe set as its
companion file:
<table name="File">
<row sourceLineNumber="C:\temp\companions\product.wxs*24">
<field>hello.exe</field>
<field>MyComponent</field>
<field>hello.exe</field>
<field>0</field>
<field />
<field />
<field>0</field>
<field />
</row>
<row sourceLineNumber="C:\temp\companions\product.wxs*25">
<field>world.exe</field>
<field>MyComponent</field>
<field>world.exe</field>
<field>0</field>
<field>hello.exe</field>
<field />
<field>0</field>
<field />
</row>
</table>

Probably the same problem is also in WiX2:
Consider this code:
<Component Id="Component1 Guid="GUID" DiskId="1">
<File Id="File1" Name="File1.exe Vital="yes" KeyPath="yes"
Checksum="yes" />
<File Id="File2" Name="File2.dll" Vital="yes" Checksum="yes"
CompanionFile="File1"/>
</Component>
Checking the MSI file with ORCA the FileTable:
The row that belongs to file File2 will contain the real version of
the file (in Column Version) instead of text: "File1"
The problem appears only if the file is binary. If the file File2 is
text file the Version column is filled correctly.
