# Install code does not run during a version upgrade
## Description
An install codeunit runs when an extension is installed for the first time or an uninstalled version is installed again. Installing a higher extension version through the data-upgrade operation does not invoke `OnInstallAppPerCompany` or `OnInstallAppPerDatabase`. Ordinary version-to-version migration is dispatched only through upgrade codeunits.
## Best Practice
Use `Subtype = Install` for first-install and reinstall initialization. Put version migration in a separate `Subtype = Upgrade` codeunit and enter it from `OnUpgradePerCompany` or `OnUpgradePerDatabase`.
See sample: `install-code-does-not-run-on-version-upgrade.good.al`.
## Anti Pattern
Putting a schema or data migration only in an install trigger and expecting it to run when a higher app version is upgraded. The migration is never invoked on that path.
See sample: `install-code-does-not-run-on-version-upgrade.bad.al`.
