That's strange, didn't see this behavior yet. Could you please provide us:

- Version of wpkg.js
- debug log output (cscript wpkg.js /synchronize /debug >mylogfile.txt) and
- logfile with full loglevel set
- if you use Wpkg client, version of wpkg client, too

BTW: are you sure that your remove cmd is correct (...-A70500...)?

Here's a package definition for 8.1.2 (German) which does work here:

    <package
      id="acrobat8"
      name="Acrobat Reader 8"
      revision="5"
      reboot="false"
      priority="100">
        <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Adobe Reader
8.1.2 - Deutsch" />

        <install
cmd='%SOFTWARE%\packages\adobereader\AdbeRdr812_de_DE.exe /sPB /rs /l
/msi"/qb-! /norestart /log %SystemDrive%\netinst\logs\acrobat8.log
ALLUSERS=2 EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES LAUNCH_APP=0" '>
          <exit code="0" />
          <exit code="3010" />
        </install>
        <install cmd='cmd /c regedit /s
%SOFTWARE%\packages\adobereader\acroread-html8.reg ' />

        <remove cmd='MsiExec.exe /q
/x{AC76BA86-7AD7-1031-7B44-A81200000003}' >
          <exit code="0" />
          <exit code="1605" />
        </remove>

        <upgrade
cmd='%SOFTWARE%\packages\adobereader\AdbeRdr812_de_DE.exe /sPB /rs /l
/msi"/qb-! /norestart /log %SystemDrive%\netinst\logs\acrobat8.log
ALLUSERS=2 EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES LAUNCH_APP=0" '>
          <exit code="0" />
          <exit code="3010" />
        </upgrade>
        <upgrade cmd='cmd /c regedit /s
%SOFTWARE%\packages\adobereader\acroread-html8.reg ' />

</package>
