I have successfully convinced my employer to migrate our installers from InstallShield to WiX.

However, one of our products, when upgrading from the IS-authored previous version, neglects to install one of the components (the component does get installed on a fresh install).  When the application is launched after the upgrade, it appears to do a Repair and then the application starts.  When I look into installation directory, I can see that the component's KeyPath (which is a file) has now been installed.

I have logged the upgrade and did a search for the component name in the log and found the log entry:
MSI (s) (0C:CC) [20:24:58:633]: Component: ClientAPIProxy_dll; Installed: Absent;   Request: Local;   Action: Null

What I notice unusual is that all the other component log entries have the value "Action:" field set to  "Local".

Does this log entry indicate anything that could point me to the problem?
