EIF on Terminal Server

Yesterday we ran into a unexplained behavior on one of our terminal servers
hosting about 60 people at the time all running our EIF instrumented
application.

Our application installs an EnterpriseInstrumentation.config file and a
EnterpriseInstrumentation.config.backup file. We had just added write
permissions to the EnterpriseIntrumentation.config.backup file to avoid the
EIF read configile events being posted as warnings in the EventLog whenever
the user started our application. Shortly after we had a number of calls
from users stating that the server was trying to repair/reinstall the
application.

We are still doing investigating but I was wondering if anyone had
experienced this or if the attempt by multiple simultaneous users to access
the .backup file could cause the installer service to see it as "missing".

Thank you for any information or insight you may have.

I have never heard of anything like this before.  

Is the EI.config.backup file part of the MSI's file list?
If yes, you could try removing it from the MSI you create to confirm that
this file is not the cause of the Windows Installer thinking that the
application needs to repair/reinstall the app.

Hope this helps

Mike
