Sure, let me describe a bit more. We have a full osgi app running on 
equinox. Our build generates what I though was a p2 enabled driver. Driver 
includes launcher and all application bundles under plugins directory. The 
build also generates a p2 repository that we export to our test site. This 
drivers will get layout not using the p2installing but Install Anywhere 
installer instead. Once the driver gets install people can start running 
our app, no problems. If they want an update they can point to a p2 
repository we give them and then run some simple commands we created 
around your p2 InstallOperation and UpdateOperations services. My logic is 
this. I first find the IUs that are completely new bundles not found in 
DefaultProfile, then I use InstallOperations to install that list. Then I 
figure out IUs that are new versions of existing IUs and I update those 
using the UpdateOperations service. Here is what works: I can install new 
bundles via p2 and I'm able to update those. Here is what I can't get to 
work: I can't update those bundles that came with the installer, the 
UpdateOperations claims there is not updates available. I query the 
DefaultProfile and I see the old version, I query the repo with new 
metadata and artifacts and I see the new version. No quite sure why update 
installer is not finding the new updates in the new repo. Another thing I 
tried was to use your provremove and provinstall commands. That half 
worked, I'm not able to really uninstall the old version, the two versions 
run side by side, not what I want.

I'm thinking I may need to do something else to make the bundles lay down 
by installer p2 enabled. What is your take on this issue.
