Hello List, I'm trying to build multiple similar setups (Pro, Standard, Base) of our product from a single WiX sources. And I'm trying to keep guids whenever possible.
Bob Arnson wrote earlier in this list that guids are product-global and it's ok to keep the same guids, but when products are installed into different directories. Currently my investigations show most components are really product-global while some component types do not. Non-advertised shortcuts and CU registry keys are not uninstalled when another product that has the same components with the same guids is installed in different directory. E.g. we have two products, Pro and Base, both have My.exe with non-advertised shortcut pointing on it. Both exe files have the same guid and both shortcuts have the same (but different) guid. Program Files\My Product Pro\My.exe StartMenu\Programs\My Product Pro\My Product Shortcut.lnk HKCU\My Product Pro\ShortcutKeyPath Program Files\My Product Base\My.exe StartMenu\Programs\My Product Base\My Product Shortcut.lnk HKCU\My Product Base\ShortcutKeyPath 1. Install Pro into Program Files\My Product Pro 2. Install Base into Program Files\My Product Base 3. Uninstall Base (StartMenu\Programs\My Product Base\My Product Shortcut.lnk remains and it has Action: Null in the log) 4. Uninstall Pro (Pro\Shortcut to My.exe uninstalled) I use MSI 3.01 Could someone comment on this?
