Hi Tomas,
Someone did mention a /noremove switch though. I presume this makes WPKG
not remove stuff, ever. Since I'm unlikely to want to remove stuff using
wpkg, how can I use this switch or an equivalent configuration option?
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..

My experience is that this is *mostly* true.
For example if you decide to roll out v1 of a package but a user has already
manually installed v2 and your check only looks for v1 files then you could
potentially have a situation where wpkg tries to install the older version
on top of the newer

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.
