Question:
How do I update an exsiting ECOM implementation with my new version.

Answer:
1. Increase the implementation version number (In the implementation resource file) to have a higher version number than in the original collection.
2. Install the upgraded RSC/DLL file pair \system\libs\plugins\ (on any drive).

Any application/framework code using the default or ROMOnly resolvers will then obtain an instantiation of the updated implementation. Any code using a custom resolver to obtain implementations may not get the newer version due to the custom resolution.
