[WiX-users] Consolidating components

2009-02-16 Thread MacDiarmid, James D
In my setup I have a lot of directories with components that have only one file in them. Is it ok to consolidate the files into one component per directory? Jim MacDiarmid EDS, an HP company U.S. Public Sector Department of Homeland Security Segment 703-236-3821(office) 571-247-2343(cell)

Doing so has the potential to mess up your patching solution. Best practice is to have one versioned file (.dll, .exe) per component. http://blogs.msdn.com/windows_installer_team/archive/2006/05/12/595950.aspx Wendell Joost On Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 10:02 AM, MacDiarmid, James D
