If keypaths are not explicitly declared they are implicitly set based on a
simple set of rules. However, authoring changes between one build and
another can cause the rules to designate a different resource as the
implicit keypath.
To avoid this, you should set explicit keypaths. Normally, the principle
file in a component should be its keypath. Lacking any files, the principle
registry value/key should be the keypath. Other possible keypaths include
ODBCDataSources and the component's own directory (set by using the KeyPath
attribute in the Component element).

Subject: [WiX-users] Component has a changed keyPath error
Hi wix users,
I'm trying to create a small update patch to replace some files on the
website and getting this error running Pyro:
error PYRO0243 : Component 'somecomponentname' has a changed keypath.
Patches cannot change the keypath of a component.
I'm not using keypath in my wxs file and the components that are getting
this error are in same directory between the two wxs files (rtm and
update). I'm researching this and not having much luck. Has anyone run
into this? Should I be using the keyPath attribute in my installs?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions!
