I start with an application installed by Installer VISE.
I run an Installer.app package that replaces the application.
The replacement is displayed in the Finder with the original's icon,

I examined the installed Info.plist, and verified that the correct,
updated information is there. The application works, demonstrates
the updated features, and displays the correct version information
in the about box. If I copy the updated application elsewhere, the
icon and the displayed version are correct.
I assume there is some Launch Services or Finder cache that doesn't
get kicked by my installation. What should I be doing about this?

There's an AppleEvent/AppleScript call to the Finder which you can try
(look for 'update' in the Finder's scripting dictionary). Also maybe a
call to LSRegisterURL() might kick the Finder into displaying the new
info. I can say the 'update' call to the Finder works for files, but
can't remember if I've every tried it for an application.
