After a management pack has been created by hand or loaded, it must be installed. If the management pack already exists, installing it again will update it as long as the management pack version is the same or a later version.

To load and install a management pack bundle

  1. Create the bundle from the bundle factory.

  2. Create a new bundle reader from the factory.

  3. Read the bundle file.

  4. Import the bundle through the management group.

The following example demonstrates how to load and install a management pack bundle.

C#  Copy Code 
EnterpriseManagementGroup mg = new EnterpriseManagementGroup("localhost");
ManagementPackBundle bundle = ManagementPackBundleFactory.CreateBundle();
ManagementPackBundleReader bundleReader = ManagementPackBundleFactory.CreateBundleReader();
string bundleFile = @".\RePackaging.Library.mpb";

bundle = bundleReader.Read(bundleFile, mg);
mg.ManagementPacks.ImportBundle(bundle);
