upgrade not updating most files
Basic MSI.
During a minor upgrade, most of my files are not being replaced. A few things looked odd to me:
1. even though ReinstallModeText is set to vemus, the installation log shows vomus is being set when i run the minor upgrade. Why would this happen? Checking the log confirms that ReinstallModeText is vomus.
2. if i run a repair after running the upgrade, then the old versions of files overwrite the new ones. this seems to defy the "v" in vomus/vemus. Why should this happen?
3 During InstallValidate, those components that are not being installed have their Feature Action set to Reinstall, yet their components are all (Installed: Local; Request: Null; Action: Null)
I did not change the upgrade code, the product code, feature codes, or component codes. (if i had, it shouldn't have known that the states of these components was Installed.)
Under what conditions could this be the case?
