When registering components, component installer first attempts to find existing installed components. It should be able to detect demo mode resources (and possibly other components) pre-installed on the stateful partition (so it can find the component without requiring download, provided that the demo mode reosources component is actually pre-installed) - this seems like a better alternative compared to demo mode code loading the pre-installed component directly if component installer fails to locate a version installed by component updater.
