This has been around for a while. If you were to log the install I think you'd find a message something like "component xxx will not be installed because an equal version is already installed". The trouble is that it never re-evaluates that decision and so RemoveExistingProducts goes and deletes it. The product is broken, so a repair will put it back.

I have found another problem with GAC. Doing a full product update results in no files installed into the GAC. I use SharedDllRefCount="yes" for GAC file Component. All I want is to completely remove version 1.0 and install version 1.1 of the product. Maybe it has something to do with RemoveExistingProducts scheduling, I currently use After="InstallInitialize".
