I'm maintaining a handful of MSI packages created with WiX 2.0.4820.0. 
These packages are essentially variants of a single package that are 
customised for specific clients.

My concern is that the GUID for any given component in the various 
packages is the same.  The files associated with the component are 
installed into a different directory for each package.

for example:

pkg1
   <component Id="component1" Guid="some_guid_1">...</Component>

pkg2
   <component Id="component1" Guid="some_guid_1">...</Component>

In both cases INSTALLDIR points do a different directory at install time.

So far we haven't run into any obvious problems with 
installs/uninstalls/major upgrades.  Still I am concerned about the 
common GUIDs.  Am I borrowing trouble, or is this a real problem?

Thank you
