Hello Rob, here is a minimal mergemodule showing the error:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Module Id="MergeModule" Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0"> <Package Id="{SomeGUID}" Manufacturer="ACME" InstallerVersion="200" /> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="CommonFilesFolder" /> </Directory> <DirectoryRef Id="CommonFilesFolder"> <Directory Id="ComStaHelper" Name="ACME"> <Directory Id="ComStaHelperComSta" Name="ComStaHelper"> <Component Id="cComSTAHelper" SharedDllRefCount="yes"> <File Id="ComSTAHelper" Name="ComSTAHelper.dll" Source="ComSTAHelper.dll" KeyPath="yes" Checksum="yes" /> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> </DirectoryRef> </Module> </Wix> W:\tmp\CommonFiles.wxs(14) : error LGHT0231 : The component 'cComSTAHelper.63744358_CA08_4563_B039_4BE7181B668E' has a key file with path 'TARGETDIR\acme\comsta helper\comstahelper.dll'. Since this path is not rooted in one of the standard directories (like ProgramFilesFolder), this component does not fit the criteria for having an automatically generated guid. (This error may also occur if a path contains a likely standard directory such as nesting a directory with name "Co mmon Files" under ProgramFilesFolder.)
