I don't think so.

I don't think that there is anything the Palm side will have to 
'recognize'. And considering the fact that the PC finds new hardware 
every time you start the hotsync makes me believe that even more...

There is no (at least no official) way to update individual PalmOS 
applications, with or without HotSync.

Have you ever tried to hotsync as the administrator? Btw, there is no 
need to reinstall PalmDesktop (including HotSync) for every user 
(without administrator authorizations), just call (once per user) 
'hotsync -r' resp. 'palm -r'.

Michael
