I'm having a product installer, in that there are a couple of features & each feature contains some components. In one component I'm having a desktop shortcut. So I just renamed that shortcut name and build my installer. So from then, the Minor upgrade is not replacing the files belonging to that component. From Logs, I'm getting the following message:
Component: PQR_x64; Installed: Local; Request: Null; Action: Null
And while Minor upgrade only, I'm seeing following lines:
Feature: XYZ; Installed: Advertise;
I don't know why this Component and the others which present in the same feature, are not getting installed while Minor upgrade. Can someone please help me in this?
I think that you may have renamed a keyfile for your component. This is not allowed when doing minor upgrades. Please review the table in this document to make sure you're not breaking any Windows installer upgrade rules
There is similar documentation on MSDN, but I like how InstallShield broke it down into a table in the first link.
