Normally no, it leaves a marker for registration to happen on the next 
start of the browser. You can force it, however, by using the command

   refreshPlugins(true);

Unlike nearly everything else, do this *AFTER* performInstall() returns 
a SUCCESS status. Prior to performInstall() your component isn't 
actually installed so refreshing early won't work.

If performInstall() returns 999 then a browser restart is needed to 
replace an in-use file. In that case refreshing the components and 
plugins would not be wise.
