Hi Blair,
Thank you very much, that kind of proves my suspicion, which i didn't
want to believe. I don't think the problem is not with wpkg as such but
with wpkg-gp, which is a GPE client that installs/updates various
packages, and with the context its running in. In this case its trying
to update itself. The new files actually appear in the correct place and
AFAICS things work correctly, but overall this can't be deemed as
successful update.
What really confused me initially, was that some of the msi's and most
of the apps that i have used did update correctly (for example
TortoiseSVN msi's).
Kind Regards
Luk
