Hi guys, thanks for your replies. It is very helpful. Essentially, I was trusting the Quick Installer tool too much: files on the file system will be used, regardless if you've installed the product or not. Thanks for your help. Cyrille Jens Vagelpohl wrote:

Hi there,
I have a question regarding product update.
I have updated a product (ATContentTypes) on the file system. Upon restarting the server, the new version of the product appears in red in the QuickInstaller (as expected).
Even though I haven't re-installed the product, some changes are picked up (for instance, it uses the new schemata for ATDocument).
Is this the expected behaviour?
Yes. Once the new code is on the file system it will be read in and used.
I believe the "QuickInstaller" does nothing more than execute external methods that have special "well-known" names which then trigger whatever Plone magic needs to be triggered to complete the upgrade. The "QuickInstaller" is a special Plone-only item, normal Zope product installation does not use it.
