Hello

I created my first silent installers for Solid Edge and it's service
pack (a CAD software from UGS/SIEMENS).
wpkg is executed by an Active Directory Group Policy difined on the
domain controler. I tested it, and I got the following questions:
for Solidedge.xml:
- The registry key
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{BCBA1B06-0AB4-4FA8-8544-D174FC0B0B12}' 

(this one is for Solid Edge) exist on my computer, but wpkg says :
Uninstall entry for {BCBA1B06-0AB4-4FA8-8544-D174FC0B0B12} missing: test
failed
and it try to install solid edge. Why wpkg can't see this registry key?
- on others computers where Solid Edge doesn't exist, the install failed
saying:
Could not install Solid Edge V18.
Exit code returned non-successful value: 1619.
this code come from msiexec and means:
This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package
exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to
verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.

Solidedge.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<packages>
<package id="solidedge"
name="Solid Edge V18"
revision="18"
reboot="false"
priority="0">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists"
path="{BCBA1B06-0AB4-4FA8-8544-D174FC0B0B12}" />
<install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\UGS\Solid Edge\Solid Edge
V18\Solid Edge\Solid Edge V18.msi" USERFILESPEC="%SOFTWARE%\UGS\Solid
Edge\SElicense.dat" /qn+ /l*v c:\mysilentsetup.log' >
          <exit code="0" />
</install>
<upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE2%\UGS\Solid Edge\Solid Edge
V18\Solid Edge\Solid Edge V18.msi" USERFILESPEC="%SOFTWARE2%\UGS\Solid
Edge\SElicense.dat" /qn+ /l*v c:\mysilentsetup.log' >
         <exit code="0" />
      </upgrade>
<remove cmd='msiexec /qn /x{BCBA1B06-0AB4-4FA8-8544-D174FC0B0B12}' />
