I have created a major upgrade using InstallShield 8.0 sp 2. The installation works and my application works if I install on a clean machine (i.e., I have no other version of the product installed).

However, if I have a previous version of the product installed, the installation works but my application does not. I looked into why and found out that one of the components is not being re-installed.

If I go to " Add or Remove Programs, and find my product | Click here for support information | Repair," my program now works. It's almost as if there is a corrupted pointer that gets fixed on the repair.

Has anyone run into this problem? What is the fix? What would you suggeset to trouble shoot?

Run your install with verbose logging on to find out why the component is not being installed.

msiexec /I "msifile.msi" /L*V c:\msilog.txt
