Hi Mike. Thanks for the detailed answer (though it seems to drift off-topic).

I planned to use Guid, however I find [ComCompatibleVersion] much more attractive. Any way it means, that whenver I make a new uncompatible version, I am forced to do manual brainless work (copy paste it into the appropriate <Component> element). I have expected to be able to avoid that for the standard reasons: It's time consuming. It does not require intelligence. It's error prone; In half-a-year, when I actually do make an uncompatible version; there is 90% chance that I forget the tallow.exe+copy/paste step and spend a full day, figuring out why the installation package is not working probably. > .NET, by default, computes the GUIDs to use from a hash of the > assembly identity (assembly name, version, culture, public key > token) and the class name.

When you write .NET, you probably mean: regasm.exe/tlbexp.exe, right? Jarl -- Jarl Friis Softace ApS Omøgade 8, 2.sal 2100 København Ø.
