Upgrade sharepoint 2013 solution

Question

I have a sharpeoint solution installed. I want to install a newer version of the solution as an upgade which I did using :

Update-SPSolution –Identity MySolutionName.wsp –LiteralPath “C:\MySolutionName.wsp” -GACDeployment 

This command seem to work fine as there are no errors however after I run this, the whole solution becomes uninstalled. Does anyone have any ideas on why this could be or point out where I am going wrong?

Thanks

Update-SPSolution is always rather tricky. We always use Uninstall-SPSolution and Install-SPSolution.
