Component guid needs to be the same. There is file path sharing for non-MSI installs based on the SharedDlls registry counting that you need to worry about only if your files are also installed by non-MSI installs to the same location. That's what the msidbComponentAttributesSharedDllRefCount bit in the Component table is for.

If I have a product that installs a file and a second product that installs the same file do I need the component GUIDS for that file to be the same in order for reference counting to work? Or is it enough that the files are being installed to the same location with the same name? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
