Installing prc to handheld from conduit - issues!

Hello,  I have been implementing an "auto update" feature into my Palm product that requires the ability to install and overwrite the existing prc file on the handheld with a newer prc.

During development it seemed like it was working perfectly, however as soon as I ran the conduit in a production environment it started having some issues.

My conduit is a COM conduit, and I began by utilizing the PDStandardLib.PDInstall.InstallFileToHH function to install the prc via the Palm Install tool.  The problem I am facing is for some reason, specific computers/device combinations result in the 2nd install conduit locking up.  This is the install conduit that runs at the end of the hotsync process, not the beginning.  Due to the nature of install process, it is possible for the prc to be installed to the install tool and and the conduit to queue it up again during the hotsync.  Could this be causing any problems?

So to circumvent this issue I decided to try using the PSDCONDUITLib.PSDDatabaseQuery.InstallDatabase method instead.  I had to include the library for PalmOS Schema Databases in my project in order to access this function.  However, when I call this method I just get the error "Unknown Request".  I have not been able to figure out why I am getting this error.

So does anyone have any advice on how to install prc files to the handheld during the execution of my conduit?  

Thanks.
