File removed but not reinstalled on Major upgrade
I'm doing a major upgrade on a previous installation.
Some of the files are new, others are the same as before.
I have added a key path to some component that were present in the previous version.
I have one problem with this. It seems that files that are the same in both installations are removed, but not reinstalled!
If I remove the key path the upgrade works fine.
Can you explain this behavior? Have a look at the component pcdiaspe.exe1
Below is an excerpt of the installer logs:

Was this ever resolved? I'm having the same issue right now as well. As a note, if I move the location of the file, it will be installed.
It's not set as a "Shared" DLL, btw.

Disregard -- my problem was with my build system!
Dll in product 1.0 was versioned "1.0.802.3"
DLL in product 1.5 (major upgrade) was incorrectly versioned "1.0.0.0"
so the major upgrade removed the old version, but didn't lay down the new version, because it was a lesser version than the old version (which was removed)... very confusing.
