Hi,
I am creating a setup project in VisualStudio.net. I ran the ProductSetup.msi after i had build the solution.
Now when i search the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products, I found that product code has been changed automatically ( different from what it was in the Setup Project under Product Code property ).

Actual ProductCode in project : {75AE7A3B-C737-40B5-AE10-086C7875A44F} ProductCode found in the Registry : {B3A7EA57737C5B04EA0180C687574AF4} |
After probing some more into the registry, i found that this also happening with the Component Ids, the ComponentId's of the files in the MSI file were different than that the ones in the registry. However both are referring to the same files on the system.
What is Windows Installer doing internally ?
Why are the product codes/componentIds getting changed in this manner ?
Is this some inherent problem with the MSI's build with VisualStudio.net.

This is by design. Maybe the following article will help you: "Darwin Transform and Its Application in Windows Installer Custom Actions" at http://www.installsi...s/en/msi/ca.htm
