Thanks for the idea. The issue this user has is that she regular uses a website 
that refuses to work with the newest version of Java. So it's not an installed 
app that I can check for.

Usually, the reason for this type of requirement is that there is some software 
that insists on this particular version.

You could add a check to your Java package definition that detects whatever 
software is the issue. That way, it will carry over to any other hosts that has 
the same software (and thus has the same Java restriction). You could also add 
a host-name check to the Java package definition, but that seems like a rather 
ugly way of doing it.

Subject: [wpkg-users] prevent upgrade on one host

I encountered an issue today with WPKG and am not sure how best to deal with 
it. I have a desktop profile that includes our standard suite of apps including 
Java RE. One of our users needs to stay on release 6.0.23. How can I prevent 
java from updating on that one host without create another profile just for 
that one workstation?
