Hi Tomas,
Someone did mention a /noremove switch though. I presume this makes WPKG

I do not recommend to use this switch in production. Mainly due to
Hi Peter,
Simply put if for some reason I decide to rollout Firefox v3.5 to all of
my clients but some of my users have already installed v3.6 then wpkg
may install the older version over the top of the newer version assuming
I use a check condition that specifies the file version as v3.5..
Yes, all true and well worth clarification.
I only offer my advice based on my own experience which is that without
careful testing it is difficult to predict exactly what the implementation
of wpkg will have. I've certainly tripped up more than once as a result of
my own ill-conceived check

Will wpkg uninstall software it did not install, if said software is
installed on the computer, has an entry in packages.xml, but is not in

To be honest, I don't completely trust WPKG in this respect. I have never
been able to conclusively determine any scenario,
Agreed but this isn't the scenario I was describing.
