Correct where “goes” means “installs to”.

Subject: Re: [WiX-devs] Guid="*" Algorithm
Hi,
1. I found the implementation at `Uuid.NewUuid` in `src\tools\wix\Uuid.cs`.
2. Seems to be derived from the full KeyPath of the component. So as long as
everything goes to the same place the GUID will not change.

Hello All,
I was unable to find the algorithm in the code for the generation of Guids that
have a value of *. I have two questions.
1. Where is this algorithm?
2. Is intended to be stable across upgrade codes? I.e. if a user decided to
split an application installer that universally uses Guid="*" in half because
it is really two products, can they still use Guid="*" in both new installers
or will they have to hard code the Guids to prevent component rule violations?
Thanks & Regards,
