This is caused by the internal version number of our DLLs. You can see this
number in Windows Explorer, version property of the DLL. In Windows installer
database we have not used a file version until now. But during installation, the
Windows installer service obviously evaluates this internal number of the
installed versions and compares this with the versions in the File table of the
msi database. If there is no version (as it is in current 2.0.1 versions), the
Windows Installer decides, not to install the new DLLs (the internal version of
the DLLs included in the cab files is not checked). Then the old product is
deinstalled completely and the new product is not installed correctly. This only
happens, if the installation directory is not changed from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1.
The solution is, to include a file versioning in the file table. Then the update
works fine (at least my tests showed this). Other solutions could be, that an
update installation into the same directory has to be forbidden, or that the
complete update is stopped at the beginning, with the information, that the old
product needs to be uninstalled first.
