Still true. Generated GUIDs are not patch compatible. Auto-GUIDs will work better

Subject: [wix-users] How to create a Wix patch in combination with Heat

Hi,

I am attempting to patch our installer that was generated with HeatDirectory.
I quickly realized that upon running pyro for the final step of patch generation, that I am receiving so many PYRO0305 errors due to the GUID change that occured to generate the second layout.

I found exact same titled stackoverflow post with Rob's answer [ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16607427/how-to-create-a-wix-patch-in-combination-with-heat
]
Does this hold true still?

Or is there any good way of building a patch with msi that went through heat?

Thanks in advance
