Hi Folks,
I'm new to WiX & hope this is not too stupid a question for you all.
My group started using WiX, and in particular WXI files, each based on old
Merge Modules we used to build.
Each WXI contains Components & of course Components need GUID's.
I work on localized builds so we want to change the GUID's because the files in
the Components are localized - if the files in the Component are different, the
component GUID should be different.
Normally for a string we wanted to localize, we'd have something like
string="$(loc.mystring1)" in the WXI file & the mystring1 value in a WXL file
where we translate it.
But for the GUID it doesn't work
e.g. <Component Id="AcCalendar" Guid="$(loc.Cal_mm1-AcCalendar)"
SharedDllRefCount="yes" DiskId="1">
Because, as I understand it, when I state it's a GUID, WiX expects only a real
GUID or a series of ????'s (unmanaged GUID, which is a security risk).
So can I change GUID's in a build using WXL files, if so, how? (Or have I
answered the question myself? It can't be done!)
I hope that's a clear explanation & question.
Thanks & have a good weekend.
