Re: [WiX-users] WiX 3.6 MergeModule creation regression?

[Momchil Stefanov]

I think that some clarification will be really helpful. We are considering
replacing all our merge modules to wixlib-s in order to be able to move to
wix 3.6 but it will be quite an effort and this transition may bring us
problems. Is there any chance for this issue to be fixed in next versions or
it'll remain this way?

Hi, 

Any fix or workaround to this? 

We can't move to 3.6 or 3.7 without it...(!) 

Thanks,

Apologies for the necropost, but this ( Bug #3121
  ) looks similar to  Bug #2938
   that I filed in May, where I
demonstrated that this differed from the behavior in WiX 3.5.  Rob, your
response at the time was that "Auto-generated Component GUIDs were never
supported in Merge Modules unless you used
Directory@ComponentGuidGenerationSeed."

My understanding is that is that "CommonFilesFolder" must be modularized
because of the way that MSI handles merges (Directory table can't reconcile
identical primary keys from multiple sources), and after it is modularized,
it is no longer a well-known root directory.  My best guess it that WiX 3.6
changed the Component GUID auto-generation to occur after property/directory
modularization rather than before.  

Rob, could you confirm whether this is considered a regression or working as
designed?

Thanks,
Mike

Awesome, can you create a bug with that information in it? We tend to lose

I'm a little confused by the original error. It doesn't seem to line up
with the code you provided. Can you provide more of the code or a small
example project that demonstrates the error?

I just upgraded from WiX 3.5 to WiX 3.6 (always the release versions)

The following merge module does not compile any more now:

The ComponentGroup "ComponentGroup.PFCoDIA.Fdt.Profibus" contains a component

Is this a bug/regression in WiX or is this a real problem which the old WiX

No, I can't use wixlibs in this case, because the final product must be a merge

My guess is that it is a new check, this bit of the error explains the issue 
"This error may also occur if a path contains a likely standard directory such 
as nesting a directory with name "Common Files" under ProgramFilesFolder."

You probably just need to add a ComponentGuidGenerationSeed to your 
CommonFilesFolder directory.
