    <p>I am creating a Wix installer package for my ASP.net application, but am getting an error when trying to add multiple Web.config files even though they are located in different directories.</p> <p>The code I have so far looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="Site" &gt; &lt;Component Id="Web.Config" Guid="F9D6C6E5-887E-4D90-BDEB-5D16AAA8F194"&gt; &lt;File DiskId="1" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.SolutionDir)\publish\Web.config" /&gt; &lt;/Component&gt; &lt;Directory Id="Account.Dir" Name="Account"&gt; &lt;Component Id="Account.Web.Config" Guid="53FC1820-3ADD-41C0-92D6-9A66348C33A4"&gt; &lt;File DiskId="1" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.SolutionDir)\publish\Account\Web.config" /&gt; &lt;/Component&gt; &lt;/Directory&gt; &lt;/Directory&gt; &lt;Feature Id="DefaultFeature" ConfigurableDirectory="TARGETDIR" Level="1"&gt; &lt;ComponentRef Id="Web.Config"/&gt; &lt;ComponentRef Id="Account.Web.Config"/&gt; &lt;Feature&gt; </code></pre> <p>The error message I'm getting is: <code>"Duplicate symbol 'File:Web.config' found. This typically means that an Id is duplicated. Check to make sure all your identifiers of a given type (File, Component, Feature) are unique."</code></p> <p>As far as I know you can't install the same file twice using WIX, but these are different files in different locations that only have the same name. When I rename one of the files the installer works as expected but this doesn't help since both files need to be named Web.config. I don't think that the IDs or GUIDs are a problem since they are unique and changing the file name works.</p> <p>Does anyone have an ideas?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
