Package Reinstalling

I have just repackaged some software with AdminStudio 5 and the package keeps reinstalling everytime the program starts up. Older versions of this package is deployed throughout our company and working fine, they were packaged using Wininstall LE though. Is there a log file or anything that Windows installer creates during these reinstalls? I assume it's finding an older file and replacing it everytime or something.....not sure though. Any help would be appreciated.

Well, I just repackaged the exact same app using WinInstall LE and it works just fine.....go figure.
You can look into Application events in Event Viewer. The source is MsiInstaller.
The application is probably deleting a file when it exits that the package installed. Use Event Viewer to find out which file and exclude it in the package.
