BTW are users really able to install anything they want in your environment? Sounds like a recipe for potential disaster!
We already have a test environment of sorts - the computer suite open to the public has WPKG in use. But it's a general 'does this work well' test, rather than testing specific cases, and most of those PCs needed a fresh windows install anyway.
Thanks everyone for the help. I think I can be reasonably confident wpkg won't clobber stuff. I'm always using latest versions, so I don't need to worry about WPKG replacing eg Fx 3.6 with Fx 3.5.
Someone did mention a /noremove switch though. I presume this makes WPKG not remove stuff, ever. Since I'm unlikely to want to remove stuff using wpkg, how can I use this switch or an equivalent configuration option?
