Hi there,
Im trying to get all my software to work with wpkg and found a problem...
I would like to see it possible to check for updates with the uninstall check.
It right now isnt possible to do so. (For example the MS office sp1).
"uninstall" check is checked before WPKG decides if it should install
some software.
For example, if we have Office 2003 installed, we will have "Microsoft
Office Professional 2003" in Software Add/Remove.
So the check condition will look like that:
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Microsoft Office
Professional 2003" />
Before attempting to install Office, WPKG will check in Software
Add/Remove (actually, it checks somewhere in the registry, but it has
the same effect), if "Microsoft Office Professional 2003" is installed.
If it is installed - WPKG will skip the installation of Office (because
it's already installed).
If it is NOT installed, WPKG will launch the "install cmd".
So we can say, that "uninstall" looks into this registry key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\DisplayName ->
Microsoft Office Professional 2003
to compare it with "uninstall" check.
Logically, it should work with updates, too, but I didn't have the
opportunity to check it.
If it's not there, you can always use a "registry" check.
