[WiX-users] Component Rules Registry Questions

[Orion E. <or...@co...>]

Hey, I have a component which looks somewhat like this:

<Component Id=3D"someGuid"...>
<Registry id=3D"xyz0" ..."/>
<Registry id=3D"xyz1" ..."/>

I don't want to change the registry entries, I know this will break the r=
ules,
however what I want to do is add NeverOverwrite to the component (eg:


<Component Id=3D"someGuid"... NeverOverwrite=3D"yes">

Does this break the rules? Do I need to change the GUID (please no, becau=
se then
it causes breakages on all it's contents)... if so, what can I do?

Oh, also another thing, I know that if you change the registry value, tha=
t's not
a rule breakage, as it's equivalent to upgrading a file, but if you chang=
e the
registry path or value name then it IS a rule breakage, but what about ch=
anging
type? ie: it was a string, now it's a DWORD...??

Thanks, Orion.
