I prefer send you the zip only through direct message or email... By the way in log build (on installshield software) i read this line: Adding file 'A.dll' that is a dependency of component 'SERVICE' Adding file 'B.dll' that is a dependency of component 'SERVICE' Adding file 'C.dll' that is a dependency of component 'SERVICE' Adding file 'D.dll' that is a dependency of component 'SERVICE' But i don't have linked that file in the component service, as you can see in the screenshot...

Before I try your solution, i find a problem: I don't know why but the setup install files that aren't linked in the project... I open the project on installshield and i have the component "AllOtherFiles" and there isn't the file A. Then i build the setup.exe and i install that on my clean machine. After i have installed the setup, i find the file A on client pc... I open the MSI with Windows installer Unpacker and i find a components "_C99627ECA3A0719C8241338FD51B3A7F" with the files "A"... Can installshield have some cache or temp on build server? can i send you my project and exe?

Any specific reason why are you using same file under different component?If you want those files to updated by Feature "File" add those under existing components not new ones. The same file are shared between 2 components because i need install files at 2 different path on the computer client

There are lot to add here: First of all Minor upgrade should not contain any new feature to be added.Notes from Flexera on this regard:" Any new features that you add to the latest version of your installation must be added as subfeatures of existing features. These new features must have the Remote Installation property set to Favor Parent and the Required attribute set to Yes in the Features view." excuse me but at this link https://helpnet.flexerasoftware.com/installshield22helplib/helplibrary/MajorMinorSmall.htm , at the table, there is a line that said "Add a new component to a new feature" and it's write "yes" at the column "Use a minor Upgrade?"

I did another test and i discover that there are common files between component "bin" and the component "A" (A associated to File). This common files are link to different path: Example: Feature "File" - Component A - File foo.dll --> link to C:\test\foo.dll Feature "File" - Component A - File bar.dll --> Link to c:\test\bar.dll Feature "Portal" - Component Bin - File foo.dll --> Link too C:\portal\bin\foo.dll Feature "Portal" - Component Bin - File test.dll --> Link too C:\portal\test.dll I think that when i upgrade from old setup and the new, the setup find all file "foo.dll" and install that, despite the files are associated to onether component and feature

"Can you confirm that you are trying to do minor-upgrade?" Yes, i'm trying to do minor-upgrade. I didn't explain myself well... I did a setup with 1 features: File. I Installed this setup on client pc and all gone right. Than i modify my setup and i added another feature, at the same level of File: Portal. The feature File has 4 component: AllOtherFiles, Config, ISRegistryComponent and Service The feature Portal has a lot of component but there are 2 component that has problem: Bin and Config. When i install the new setup (with the 2 feature) on a new machine, there isn't any problem. But when i install the new setup on a pc where i installed the old setup (so only with the feature File), the component Bin and Config are installed on the client. I don't need to install the 2 feature on a client with installed the old setup but i need only to upgrade the file that are associated to the feature "File"

"Is that something on minor-upgrade component named portal is been deleted?" Before the setup has only the feature "Service" then i add the feature "Portal". Who has installed the old setup has only the feature "Service" installed. In the log i found this line: " New components have been added to feature 'File' MSI (c) (38:94) [16:22:53:818]: SELMGR: Component 'BIN' is a new component added to feature 'File' MSI (c) (38:94) [16:22:53:818]: SELMGR: Component 'IXAGENTCONFIG_PORTAL' is a new component added to feature 'File' MSI (c) (38:94) [16:22:53:818]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding TARGETDIR property. Its value is 'C:\'." The setup added the component "BIN" and "IXAGENTCONFIG_PORTAL" to the feature "File" (sorry, before i call it Service) but in the Setup Design the components "BIN" and "IXAGENTCONFIG_PORTAL" are associate to the feature "Portal", as you can see on the image

I have a setup with 2 feature: Service and Portal. Service and Portal have more than one component and every component has more than one file. Happens that 2 components (not all..) associated to feature "Portal" are installed on pc client when i do an update from a pc where was installed only feature "Service". I checked in "Setup Desing" and in "Direct Editor" if there is some discrepancy between them, but i can't find any problems
