When a keypath attribute is not explicitly specified, the first file or registry key in the component is used, but this is not recommended. Do those code snippets show the whole of the components ? You can't change the contents of a component once it's been released. That's a violation of the component rules. You can add new components however. You can also change the contents of the files in the components since that doesn't affect the component definition.

Subject: [WiX-users] Stuck on error PYRO0243 : Component has a changedkeypath I tried searching Google and the archive, but I don't have a clear answer/understanding of why I am getting this error: error PYRO0243 : Component <> has a changed keypath I am trying to create a patch using the base version of a full install against a REL 2. According to some accounts, this occurs when the first resource of a component is changed, but in each case the file names are the same other than the source location. I've attached the two wxs files, but one spot where I get the error is shown below. Is there a way to override the message? In the WixEditor I did not see a keypath attribute on the component. <Rel 2 Code> <Directory Id="sqlTRIGGERSDIR" Name="TRIGGERS"> <Component Id="sqlTRIGGERS" DiskId="1" Guid="A89FC340-C3C3-4841-B3FC-C344B2A2582D"> <Condition>DBTYPE=1</Condition> <File Id="DEMPLOY.SQL_1" Name="DEMPLOY.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DEMPLOY.SQL" /> <File Id="deqevent.sql" Name="deqevent.sql" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\deqevent.sql" /> <File Id="DEQHIER.SQL_1" Name="DEQHIER.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DEQHIER.SQL" /> <File Id="DEQLUDVA.SQL_1" Name="DEQLUDVA.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DEQLUDVA.SQL" /> <File Id="DEQMETER.SQL_1" Name="DEQMETER.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DEQMETER.SQL" /> <File Id="DEQSEUDV.SQL_1" Name="DEQSEUDV.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DEQSEUDV.SQL" /> <File Id="DEQSRIAL.SQL_1" Name="DEQSRIAL.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DEQSRIAL.SQL" /> <File Id="DINITLOC.SQL_1" Name="DINITLOC.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DINITLOC.SQL" /> <File Id="DINITSPC.SQL_1" Name="DINITSPC.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DINITSPC.SQL" /> <File Id="dinlgmat.sql_1" Name="dinlgmat.sql" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\dinlgmat.sql" / <Base Code> <Directory Id="sqlTRIGGERSDIR" Name="TRIGGERS"> <Component Id="sqlTRIGGERS" DiskId="1" Guid="A89FC340-C3C3-4841-B3FC-C344B2A2582D"> <Condition>DBTYPE=1</Condition> <File Id="DEMPLOY.SQL" Name="DEMPLOY.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DEMPLOY.SQL" /> <File Id="DEQCATMS.SQL" Name="DEQCATMS.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DEQCATMS.SQL" /> <File Id="DEQEVENT.SQL" Name="deqevent.sql" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\deqevent.sql" /> <File Id="DEQEVUDV.SQL" Name="DEQEVUDV.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DEQEVUDV.SQL" /> <File Id="DEQHIER.SQL" Name="DEQHIER.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DEQHIER.SQL" /> <File Id="DEQLUDVA.SQL" Name="DEQLUDVA.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DEQLUDVA.SQL" /> <File Id="DEQMETER.SQL" Name="DEQMETER.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DEQMETER.SQL" /> <File Id="DEQSEUDV.SQL" Name="DEQSEUDV.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DEQSEUDV.SQL" /> <File Id="DEQSRIAL.SQL" Name="DEQSRIAL.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DEQSRIAL.SQL" /> <File Id="DINCTLTY.SQL" Name="DINCTLTY.SQL" Source="\\apshares\data2\Tw8-2\Pro00\DATABASE\mssql\TRIGGERS\DINCTLTY.SQL" /> Justin Hull Sr. Developer Maximizing Asset Performance 864-679-3513 office justin.h...@assetpoint.com http://www.assetpoint.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
