Hey Alex, According to Pyro error PYRO0243 (in comments on Peter's blog http://blogs.msdn.com/pmarcu/archive/2007/06/28/sample-patch.aspx) " 'ComponentX' has a changed keypath. Patches cannot change the keypath of a component. " So, if you changed the File Id you would void this. I am not sure about changing the actual file name but I think that how we generate the 8.3 names (which affect patching) comes from the name of the file (don't quote me on that).
Also, it is best not to delete components as mentioned by Peter on the same comment area. Hope that helps, Brian Rogers "Intelligence removes complexity." - Me http://icumove.spaces.live.com On Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 6:01 PM, Alex Ivanoff <alex.ivan...@shavlik.com>wrote: > Anyone? > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Alex Ivanoff [mailto:alex.ivan...@shavlik.com] > Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2009 11:13 > To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. > Subject: [WiX-users] Component Id, Guid, file name and upgrade > > Let's say I have a component in v1: > > <Component Id="Comp1" Guid="45FB167E-4C14-4003-9C78-9ADBFC36321A"> > <File Id="File1.exe " > KeyPath="yes" > Source="$(var.BinPath)\File1.exe" /> > </Component> > > In v1.1 the file name changes to File2.exe.
