Background
Windows Installer tracks every component by its component GUID, which is specified in the Component table. It is essential for the operation of the Windows Installer reference-counting mechanism that the component GUID is set and its value is correct. The ComponentID property takes a string that is formatted as a GUID, using the format {XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}, where X is a hexadecimal digit (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F). The braces are required.
Resolution
The following resolutions are available.
Manual Fix
Each component should receive a non-null, valid GUID in the ComponentId field.
Basic Auto Fix
Valid GUIDs are generated for each component that has a null or invalid GUID; this is done through a Windows Installer transform.
This fix is enabled by default.
Advanced Auto Fix
No resolution is available.
