OPC Core Components Redistributables ICE08 Validation Errors|Classic OPC: DA, A&E, HDA, XML-DA, etc.|Forum|OPC Foundation

The recently released version 3.1.1.89 of the "OPC Core Components Redistributables" contains new merge modules that contain components with duplicate GUIDs, which leads to ICE08 validation errors (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en...../msi/ice08).

Specifically the component GUID's in "opc-com-proxystub-mergemodule-3.1.1-x86.msm" and "opc-com-proxystub-mergemodule-3.1.1-x64.msm" are the same. Similarly, the GUIDs in "opc-com-sdk-mergemodule-3.1.1-x86.msm" and "opc-com-sdk-mergemodule-3.1.1-x64.msm" are also the same.

This issue can be seen by validating "opc-core-components-redistributable-3.1.1-x64.msi" using Microsoft Orca (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en.....i/orca-exe). It also occurs in any product that includes both x86 and x64 merge modules in it's MSI file.

These GUID appear to have been created 'manually' rather the usual algorithmically generated unique GUID's.
