SharePoint Pre-Deployment Process

Question

I'm currently running into an issue with deploying our migrated SharePoint 2010 WSPs via PowerShell.  However when we deploy them through Visual Studios we have no issues.  I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what Visual Studio executed during the deployment process that may be something that we are missing.

I'm not sure of the exact methods used by Visual Studio, but this is how I deploy solutions to my 2010 environments using powershell.

add-spsolution "D:\solutions\mysolution.wsp"
install-spsolution -identity mysolution.wsp -WebApplication http://mysite.company.loc -GACDeployment
