autoloader trigger

I have an application bundle that is simple in nature. It supplies support paths for AutoCAD and a custom CUI that calls LISP files in those support paths. On occasion, I need to change something about the paths or even the CUI itself as commands get added/edited/etc. 

From what I have gathered, these are the steps to force autoloader to reload from the app.bundle location to the user profile:

  1. Edit the following lines in the PackageContents.xml
    1. Increment the AppVersion (& optionally the component version)
    2. Increment the ProductCode by creating a new GUID
    3. Update any bundle contents
  2. restart AutoCAD
    1. Because the appversion and product code have changed, the autoloader should process the PackageContents.xml settings and re-publish any updates to the local user.

However, this process is not working for me. I've attached the package contents for reference. Does anyone have any ideas?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ApplicationPackage
    SchemaVersion="1.0"
    Name="Standards Application"
    Description="Delivery method for Standards"
    AppVersion="2.41"
    ProductCode="{f2840376-6eeb-4ca1-bb60-4beee620d789}"
>
  <RuntimeRequirements 
    OS="Win64" 
    Platform="Civil" 
    SeriesMin="R24.3"
	SeriesMax="R25.0" />

  <Components Description="2024 Standards">
    <RuntimeRequirements 
      SupportPath="./;C:/ACAD/Civil3D/2024/Support/;C:/ACAD/Civil3D/2024/Support/Lisp/;C:/ACAD/Civil3D/2024/Support/Icons/;C:/ACAD/Civil3D/2024/Hatch/;C:/ACAD/Civil3D/2024/Fonts/;C:/ACAD/Civil3D/2024/Linetypes/" 
      OS="Win64" 
      Platform="Civil" 
      SeriesMin="R24.3"	
	  SeriesMax="R25.0" />

    <ComponentEntry 
      AppName="Tools" 
      AppType="CuiX"
      Version="2.41" 
      ModuleName="./contents/2024.cuix" />
    </Components> 
</ApplicationPackage>
Thanks
