After installing the update, a specific dll is no longer placed.(InstallShield Limited Edition)

[Phenomenon]
After installing the update, a specific dll is no longer placed.

[Environment in which the problem occurs]
- Development environment: VS2012, InstallShield Limited Edition
- Development language: C#

[Procedure]
1. Create setup.exe using InstallShield Limited Edition.
2. Install the setup.exe created in Step 1 on Windows 10.
3. Add one external reference to the project in VS2012 and create a new version of setup.exe from InstallShield Limited Edition.
- Setting change of InstallShield Limited Edition when creating setup.exe.
- [General]-[Product Version], [Product Code]
- [Upgrade Paths]-[Max Version]
4. Install the update with setup.exe created in Step 3.

[Result]
The dll that has been placed so far are not placed in the installation destination.

[Contents and results of investigation]
- If an error occurred when starting the application, click the shortcut set in the installer to relocate the dll that has not been placed, and the application starts.
- If you uninstall the old version and then install the new version, the dlls will be placed without problems.
- When I got the installation log, there was a log that the dll was deleted at the end of the installation.
- I've added one external reference to the project in VS2012 before, but it was fine then.

[Questions]
How can I make sure that the dll is placed correctly in the update installation as before?
