WPKG keeps its local "database" of installed packages in C:\windows\system32\wpkg.xml. The "zombie found" message merely means that a package is in the file above, but it's not in any packages XML file on the server... And hence it's a zombie. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
