Hi, Thanks Richard for the fast reply! I have checked the logs. In the installer, there are 3 dlls installed. Here are the logs on why they are not upgraded.

So when you right-clicked them in the Windows Explorer and select their properties, you cannot see any version or company information but these information is in the .Net Assembly and also because they are not normal C++ dlls. Looks like MSI is checking their C++ dll versions which do not exists. So what should I do? And the logs are talking about hashes, is this something automatically calculated when we build the MSI? As for the last dll, npgerm.dll, it is a C++ dll and its version remained unchanged, there's why it won't be upgraded. So I can resolve the third dll issue myself. What about the other 2 .Net dlls? Please help. Thank you!
