Thanks Rainer, Whilst I was waiting a reply I had a test myself and it worked. I didn't go as deep as you and 'debug'. I asked because the latest Adobe Flash ocx and dll files are now named including the version as underscores. So a file exists check is easier than before. BW Paul

I've done a quick test and in this case it works. Quickly tested your version number and then upgraded to 11_1_102_56: 2012-05-15 12:03:07, DEBUG : Comparing version: '11_1_102_56' <=> '11_1_102_55'. 2012-05-15 12:03:07, DEBUG : Comparing version fragments: '11' <=> '11' 2012-05-15 12:03:07, DEBUG : Comparing version fragments: '1' <=> '1' 2012-05-15 12:03:07, DEBUG : Comparing version fragments: '102' <=> '102' 2012-05-15 12:03:07, DEBUG : Comparing version fragments: '56' <=> '55' 2012-05-15 12:03:07, INFO : Package 'Testing package' (test): Already installed but version mismatch.|Installed revision: '11_1_102_55'|Available revision: '11_1_102_56'.|Preparing upgrade. Although I still recommend to use standard "dotted" notation as the above one works only because WPKG splits each part of the version number by non-numeric characters. So therefore 11_1_102_55 is not interpreted as "11.1.102.55" but as the expression 11_1_102_55 which is split into distinct numbers and then compared piece by piece. But as said, in your case it works perfectly as long as you just use digits split by non-digit characters. Seamlessly 11v1v102v55 would work too. br, Rainer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- wpkg-users mailing list archives >> http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
