Files not updated during upgrade
Hi All
We have Basic MSI project that was working fine files would get replaced if we go from version 2.1 to 2.2 ........ 2.5
Now for the 2.6 version something changed that files are not being updated when we going from 2.1 to 2.6.
We still see prompt stating that
When checking files they still are from 2.1 version, but if we look at the "Programs and Features" is showing 2.6 version.
Looking at the log for one of the files showing following
For 2.1 to 2.6
[CODE]MSI (s) (68:5C) [15:35:21:095]: Component: CompanyName.Product.Core.dll; Installed: Local; Request: Null; Action: Null[/CODE]
While for 2.1 to 2.2
[CODE]
MSI (s) (68:A8) [15:26:29:667]: Component: CompanyName.Product.Core.dll; Installed: Local; Request: Local; Action: Local[/CODE]
Our upgrade settings are set to default. Which only has ISPreventDowngrade.
All the changes are minor, we didn't removed or renamed any components.
Question: What could cause not to update files?
Installer Log:

Thank you.

"This setup will perform an upgrade of 'Application Name". Do you want to continue?"

I ran Build -> Validate -> Upgrade Validation Wizard...
I selected 2.3 version to compare with current 2.6 version
Result is empty and seems like everything is ok.
