    The post installer component was modified to properly detect new
    products even when installed after a configuration root is
    created.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Certain files which are created to let the post installer
    detect
    a new product has been installed are not symlinked to the
    corresponding config root on installation. The post installer
    now will symlink these new files before it tries to determine
    what has been installed. With this new change the new products
    will show up for existing configuration roots.
