So, you still had the <package id="CofA"... entry in wpkg.xml? That's the expected behaviour. wpkg.js checks if the application is in its "database" (wpkg.xml), and if it is, it assumes it is installed. > I removed the package reference in the WPKG.XML, and it re-installed the > application. Again, expected. No reference in wpkg.xml -> wpkg.js assumes the package is not installed, makes sure all <check type=... are met. If not met - starts <install... commands. > I then removed the package reference again, this time with the software still > installed, and it ran the software installation script. It shouldn't start the installation script again *if* "C:\Program Files\CofA\COFA.exe" exists. > I have verified the spelling, the directory, etc. I have tried putting > single quotes in the check path, I am simply not sure how this is supposed to > work.
