Hi everyone, I just released a new MSI for an upgraded version of one of our in house applications. This is about the 16th iteration (we've been in testing for most of this, so each new one is a full package with a MajorUpgrade) and all the rest have been successful, until today. One file did not install. If the new MSI is pointed to with Repair, the missing file of our application is installed as it should. Orca shows the file (I checked to ensure I'm not relying on it being already in the file system or the like). This file has not changed between versions. Only the executable and one library changed in this iteration (which is also typical; the other libraries, including the missing one, are more stable and don't change between versions as much).
I've tried to look at the last install log, which we fortunately have, and the one with the problem, and I cannot see any relevant difference. There is no reference to installing the file, which I guess is expected if it got removed as the upgrade happened, but the question is why. The files are byte-by-byte the same, same date, same version. I'll pull the two install logs later if someone wants to see all of the ~260k for either ... but before I put those up I'll look for anything that someone might think relevant. The only other time I've seen this behaviour happen is if one manually replaced a file installed previously. Is there a way to see if that was the case? I'll investigate this possibility a bit more on my own too.
