I ran into the same issue. Everytime the msi is built its check sum is indeed different and the bundle stores this information. What you can do is skip the msi build step unless it has actually changed and copy it the desired location so that when the bundle builds it picks the same msi everytime and there is no check sum issue.
But this has the the problem that this sacred msi need to be stored in a safe place so I ended up doing was simply building msi every day anyway. So bundle A (ver1) refering B.msi (ver1) A(ver2) refering B.msi( ver1) Now Aver1 and Aver2 need different msis on the webserver for it to work but the contents of that msi are the same and if Aver1 is already installed Aver2 doesn't try to download B.msi. -Raj On Thu, Apr 11, 2013 at 9:36 AM, Spud <[email protected]> wrote: > OK. > I should have known - rob was right all along (smile) > > *Assuming* that WiX generates it's hash values the same way as the ms "File > Checksum Integrity Verifier" > ( > http://download.microsoft.com/download/c/f/4/cf454ae0-a4bb-4123-8333-a1b6737712f7/windows-kb841290-x86-enu.exe > ) > then the hash values of the sharedcomponents.msi files are indeed different > between builds, although the files within them are exactly the same, and > are > unchanged (these are the 3rd party components, not something we're > compiling), and in fact there were no code changes at all inbetween the > different builds, as I kicked off a 2nd build specifically to test the > scenario. > > Presumably I need to set something in the Product.wxs file of the shared > msi > so that unless the contents change (and they won't) the hash code will > remain static. > > Any guidance would be appreciated.
