Yes, i need change Id, but in current feature realization i also need change Name. Typically target file name is same to source file name, but not same to Id. See below example: ... ...

Defaulting Id from Source was a new feature that wasn't a breaking change. Going the other way would be a breaking change so I didn't pursue it.

[WiX-users] Wix3: File/@Name as part of @Source
Last version wix-3.0.3621 add new feature - auto fill File/@Name field. But some difference confuse me. Changes from histoty.txt : BobArnso: - Default File/@Name and @Id to the file name portion of @Source. Changes from Wix chm documentation (about attribute File/@Name): ... if this attribute is omitted then it is defaulted to the value of the Id attribute. In real, Wix not working as described in history.txt, but working as described in documentation - if Name not specified then Name *taken from Id*. It is BAD. Files Id must be unique in msi package scope, but file names may be same. In real life at 99.999% cases File/@Name equal file name part of File/@Sorce. Why Wix take file name from [EMAIL PROTECTED], but not from [EMAIL PROTECTED] ??? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Wix3%3A-File-%40Name-as-part-of-%40Source-tp14526294p14526294.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
