Hi,

I use CodeModuleManager methods to automatically upgrade my app.  The installation completes successfully but I see the issues below.

1.    The version shown in 'Advanced options - Applications"  is 'unknown' instead of of the actual version.    I can see the correct version when the app is pushed to the device from BES.

2.    After installation completes, the CodeModuleManager.sResetRequired  flag is never true.

3.  Turning off the device and turning it on doesn't show the newly installed app.  I still see the old one.  I have to remove the battery from the device and put it back to see the new version of the app. 

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

1. You need to use the CodeModuleGroupManager/CodeModuleGroup API to create a code module group, which is what is shown in the Applications screen. A code module group is simply metadata, that aggregates a number of modules, their dependencies, version number, vendor and so forth.

2. CodeModuleManager.isResetRequired might be false because no reboot is actually required. This might be the case when you install modules from scratch, without deleting or overwriting existing modules. In the case of very simple modules, even overwriting the modules might not require a reboot.

Also, isResetRequired might return false if it's invoked by a process other than the process that invoked the CodeModuleManager API to perform the changes.

3. Turning off simply means suspend. Cold-reboot (ALT(left shift) + CAP(right shift) + DEL(backspace) or pulling the battery) is a proper reboot.

1. Can you provide an example for this one.

2. In my case I am overwriting an existing module.  So shouldn't the isResetRequired flag be true.?

3.  So the only option is proper reboot after an install, in order to use the upgraded app ?
