[wix-users] Can Component ID be shared between installers

I component is uniquely identified by its component guid and its KeyPath.  As long as the component guid/keypath combination is different, then you are OK.

Subject: [wix-users] Can Component ID be shared between installers

Hi All
I have two installers that are installing similar files but in different locations Component A is installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\ProductA Component B is installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\ProductB

The two MSIs are different. But Can i use the same component id for both the installers.
