Suggestion: Custom Namespace GUID when working with ComponentGroups #14
|
I am currently writing an installer, which installs an add-on into an external application. This external application may exist in multiple versions on the client computer, hence the same files of my add-on could be installed in multiple locations at the same time. I realize this by using features with one feature for every supported version of the external application. My question is: could it be useful to introduce a new attribute called e.g. "NamespaceGUID" to the ComponentGroup allowing to define the Namespace GUID for any child elements? |

I found an error in my analysis. The path for the guid was not based on the source directory but on the target directory of the installation. By default I had the same target directory for both features. This lead to duplicated guids. By making the target directory unique a the generated guids were unique. |
