Thanks Jens. As I stated earlier the WPKG needs some improvement. Unfortunately this was taken as a insult by others. When I get home I will test this by using /force parameter correctly.
You would think that the WPKG would check the wpkg.xml local file to see if a uninstall was performed. Logically this check should have been placed into /synchonize command. But its one of those improvements I spoke of. I will keep you posted.

I've noticed WPKG not installing the application again after it has been uninstalled by a user manually a couple times too but I never actually tested it since i knew there is the /force parameter (which currently doesnt really work ;). Since I currently have the resources (test servers and clients as many as I want/need) and time I'll run a couple tests in my test environment tomorrow and supply you with my finding on the issue. The ultimate goal here should be to get WPKG as bug-free and yet feature-rich while still useable. ;) >From your other email: > But up to now nothing except user failure has been proven by you. > Just repeating that it's failing for you without providing exact information > about the environment (used XML files, config, parameters and the resulting > log files) it's hard to help. However we tried hard. I recently found this link ( http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html ) to be quite a good and amusing read. It was written by the author of the Telnet/SSH client PuTTY. - jens ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you use WPKG?
