Two threads have brought this up, so I'll repost this: Figure out why the upgrade is removing the file because it's not inevitable. 1. You should add the file in question to your new setup with the same component guid. If you haven't got it in the new install then clearly it will be removed

I think it might be an optimisation issue but not 100% sure, the pdb didn't match the code for some reason though. Not sure if you found the same but you cannot set a break point directly in the wixstdba as it is not in memory when you first start the bundle. You need to wait until it is in
