Mssql-jdbc_auth-9.4.0.x64.dll removed after every release upgrade

Hi everyone,

Following our migration from Ignition 8.1 to 8.3, I'm facing a recurring issue after every version upgrade.

Due to company security policy, our MSSQL database connections use Windows Authentication via the parameter: integratedSecurity=true

The problem occurs with every release upgrade (including the latest update from 8.3.8 to 8.3.9): the file mssql-jdbc_auth-9.4.0.x64.dll gets automatically removed from the system.

To restore connection functionality, I currently have to perform these steps manually every time:

  1. Copy the DLL file to: C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\lib\core\gateway

  2. Restart the Ignition service.

Am I missing something in the configuration, or is there a proper way to make this library persistent so it doesn't get overwritten or deleted during upgrades?

Thanks in advance for your help!
