Basic Usage
MsiComponentIdAttribute defines the Microsoft Windows Installer component ID. The component ID is used by the Windows Installer to indicate the installation path to the component.
This attribute class is only used to provide data for external registration tools like regpkg.exe. It does not have any effect on the runtime behavior of the VSPackage. For more information, see Registering VSPackages.
Notes
Visual C# automatically appends the word "Attribute" to the name of any attribute class. In Visual C# code, refer to this attribute as MsiComponentId.
