Actually, doesn't the latest version of tallow have a "-gg" switch to do a
onetime generation of GUIDs? Maybe my memory is fuzzy and that's actually in
heat.

automaticGUID's
Venkatesh,
No version of Tallow exists that automatically generates GUID's. The reasoning
behind this is that automatic GUID generation leads very easily to breaking
component rules. Tallow is intended for *one time* generation of a basic file
which is then modified manually.
Mallow is a similar tool which, I believe, does generate GUID's. It is not an
official part of the WiX toolkit.
If you are attempting to automatically generate WiX authoring as part of your
build process, do so with extreme caution as it is extremely easy to do things
that will get you into difficulty if you want to support operations such as
generating patch files at a later date.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Richard
