not all upgrade scenarios are working
I have 4 upgrade scenarios. Two of the these fail to completely install. The files are there but shortcuts are missing and dll registration appears to not have occurred. If I run repair, then the software works flawless.
What should I look for in the log?

What are the conditions on the custom actions or components that are sometimes not installing properly, and which upgrade mode are they not working in?

the INSTALLDIR is different, as our company changed name
the old version has a single shortcut to the application
the new version has shortcuts based on the feature, some have a launcher instead of calling the application directly
registration is still in ISelfReg table, that has not change, but dll's appear to be unregistered when upgrading
features gets enabled based on a condition. this sets the INSTALLEVEL to a higher value.
old version did not have conditions like that.
thanks,

Changing the INSTALLDIR value shouldn't matter.
Please explain what the 4 scenarios are. Is it Major Upgrade, Minor Upgrade, New install, and Patch? Which 2 are the ones not working?
In your log snippet, you are running a Major Upgrade. Are the files getting successfully Un-registered during the removal of the old build? If not, maybe that is preventing the installation of the new build from registering the same files?
During installation of the new build, do you get an error message when the self-registration fails?
