You're right. I believe a version of heat is in the pipeline that will
preserve component GUIDs. Until then if you still insist on using heat
in an automated fashion I reckon it is better to screw up on your
content files than on your binaries (specially for GAC/COM registration
stuff).

Ss far as I know, there is no way to preserve component GUIDs between
runs of heat. From my point of view this makes it close to useless for
maintaining a setup kit as new files come into being. It's not bad for
setting up a fragment in the first place, but after that I use a
VBScript that uses MSXML to scan the file system for new items and add
them to the fragment.

I experienced similar behaviour when I removed the TCP/IP stack from my
WinXP box. Most of the corruptions can be fixed by running netsh winsock
reset and netsh interface ip reset. But I know how you feel :-)
If you really want to/need to use heat in an automated fashion I would
advice to only do so for content files. For all binaries, generate once,
edit and maintain by hand.
