Fonts lost when using upgrade table
A fresh install with my .msi will install the the font files as expected in a sub-directory of my installation, and register them with the system.
But when I upgrade my product, which is a major upgrade, we uninstall the old software, and perform an installation with the new SW -- but in doing so the font files are not installed.
As mentioned in the title, I am using the upgrade table (min/max, etc.).
I'm really at a loss as to why this happens. Can any one shed any light on this phenomenon?

Are the fonts included in the new install? They will need to be if this is a major upgrade. You could also mak the component for the fonts as permanent in the old version so that they do not get uninstalled.

The fonts are in fact in the bundle (ORCA verified) -- the files are dynamic -- as is the entire bundle. All files are installed *except* the font files.
