Bundle Id is unique for every bundle build just like PackageCode is unique for 
every MSI build. Dig into your MSBuild logs to see why any projects are being 
built.

Subject: [WiX-users] [SPAM] Incremental build of bundle - changed productId 
with same version.

I am using wix 3.9.721 and vs2013 (or vs2010).

When I build a project (without making any changes to the source files:

In the case of a MSI project there is no change to the output file.

In the case of a Bundle, the output file is updated, the ProductId changes, but 
the version is the same as the prior build because Compile was skipped due to 
no change in the inputs.  This results in the Bundle being installed, when the 
"same" bundle is already installed, as a side-by-side entry in the ARP.  
(Obviously they are not the same since the ProductId (an "internal
implementation") changed but the version did not change.  Had some other source 
file changed my version would have been incremented by the compile
process.)  

I saw another discussion in wix-devs some time ago, but it was a different 
situation (i.e. not including changes in wix extensions).  Is the above 
scenario of the Bundle ProductId changing, even when MSBuild decides to skip 
compiling intended behavior or a bug?

Thanks for the advice!
