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.

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.

It shouldn't start the installation script again *if* "C:\Program 
Files\CofA\COFA.exe" exists.

Run with /debug flag, and paste your output here.
