This is kind of a high-level question about components that I need to
understand:
 
What would happen in this scenario:
 
I have two installers that install the same file to their own directory
tree. When I defined each installer source, I did a copy/paste of the
component for that file from one source to the other and neglected to
change the component's guid on the second installer. 
 
Then I build each installer kit and run them both, one at a time, on my
system. Would the files be installed in their proper places for each
installer, or would MSI get confused because they have the same ID and
guid? 
 
I guess the direct way to word the question is: does a component's guid
only need to be unique within the product or module it's defined in, or
must it be unique from all components installed on the target computer?
 
I know it would be best to give them different guids, but I really need
to understand how this works.
 
Best regards,
