[wpkg-announce] WPKG 1.1.1-M3, lots of new features

[Rainer Meier]

Hi all,

After some sleepless nights and even some days I can proudly announce 
WPKG 1.1.0-M3 milestone release. It includes lots of new features. Some 
of them have been discussed within the mailing list and some on Bugzilla.

Additionally I checked in some tools I developed recently:
- wrapper.js:
   Allows Windows x64 Users to run WPKG properly. Due to the fact that
   32-bit applications cannot access all directories and uninstall
   entries. As WPKG client is a 32-bit application is also runs 32-bit
   version of cscript. To use the wrapper just put cmd.exe (64-bit
   version) to the .\64-bit\cmd.exe folder (just below the folder you put
   wpkg.js and wrapper.js). Open it in your favorite text editor to get
   detailed instructions.

- tools/execute/elevated/execute-elevated.js
   Allows you to run any *.cmd or *.js script with elevated user
   privileges on Windows Vista with activated UAC. This is required if
   you run WPKG manually on a Windows Vista machine.
   See tools/execute/elevated/readme.txt for instructions.

- tools\3rd-party\install-status-report/report.pl
   Tool provided by Chris Crow on the wpkg-users mailing list. It allows
   to verify your client installation status in an easy way.


As always, the latest development version of the tools can be found 
within the Subversion repository:

<http://wpkg.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wpkg/wpkg/current-development/>


Please find attached a full change log. Here's a summary:

Change Summary:
- Fixed crash when /force was used in conjunction with /synchronize
- Do not force quit if installation fails (unsless /qutonerror is set)
- Extended uninstall check (check for DisplayVersion)
- New package check: execute
- Added download extension (allows downloading installers)
- Added downgrade package functionality
- Added status output on STDOUT which can be used by the GUI

A pre-release might be available on the web-pages soon. Until then you 
can grab this version from Bugzilla:
