[wix-users] GUIDs

[Winter,Stijn S. de]

Hello,

Thanks for the reactions.
Conclusion: You mustn't change the GUID when uprading, unless you change the path it is installed too.

Best Regards,
Stijn de Winter

Subject: [wix-users] GUIDs

Hello all,


I'm making an installer for a program which is updated very often.

When making the installer for an upgrade, do i have to create new GUIDs for existing components?


Example

in V1.0.0.0 the "someFile" is different from the "someFile" in V1.1.0.0, do i keep the same GUID or do i have to change it?


V1.0.0.0:

<Component Id="someFile" Directory="someDir" Guid="someGuid" >


V1.1.0.0

<Component Id="someFile" Directory="someDir" Guid="someGuid" >?


Regards,

Stijn de Winter
