I have a package to deploy 7zip to my machines. I have *one* machine that is
not taking it. My package has only one check condition:
<package id="PKG_7Zip" name="PKG_7Zip" revision="6" reboot="false" priority="0">
<check type="registry" condition="equals"
path="HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{23170F69-40C1-2702-0920-000001000000}\DisplayVersion"
value="9.20.00.0" />
<install cmd='\\server\Packages\wpkgMessage\wpkgmessage.exe /package
"7-Zip 9.20" install'/>
<install cmd='\\server\packages\custom\7zip\920-2.exe'/>
<remove cmd='MsiExec.exe /X{23170F69-40C1-2702-0920-000001000000} /qn'/>
</package>
The 920-2.exe refers to a file which does a check on OS (32v64) and then
installs the appropriate OS version. Both the 64 and 32 bit versions share the
same registry key and data so that's not an issue.
I'm sure the registry key is there on the problem machine from the install
completing - Here's a trimmed down export from the registry on the problem
machine:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{23170F69-40C1-2701-0920-000001000000}]
"DisplayVersion"="9.20.00.0"
For some reason the WPKG client on this problem machine sees it needs the
package, installs it, then comes back and says the checks failed post-install.
I've even gone in and deleted the existing %windir%\system32\wpkg.xml and let
it be recreated, manually removed the software, etc, etc. but the machine
continues to says it needs this package.
Anybody have any ideas?
Kind regards,
