***SPAM***Re: [wpkg-users] question about checks

right - i realized my logic was backwards after I hit send. 

If I run in debug mode, will it give me any feedback regarding with if check matches the name? My guess is that the name isn't being matched correctly and it's attempting to install again. The Event Log never shows it finishing with Spybot install and moving to the next package.

Sort of (did you mean "if uninstall 'spybot' does *not* exist"?). 

In whole, the process looks like below: 

1. search for our host in hosts.xml (or in hosts directory) 
2. search which profile we have to use 
3. search which packages we need to have installed 
4. check if the packages which we need to have installed are in 
C:\windows\system32\wpkg.xml already 
a) packages are there - fine, do nothing 
b) packages are not in C:\windows\system32\wpkg.xml - for "spybot", it 
would be: 

if uninstall 'spybot' exists (check in Software add/remove) then 
it's already installed - add to C:\windows\system32\wpkg.xml 
else 
install 
end
