Mee too...

AFAI've understood, this is not a WPKGClient trouble 'per se', but
merely and installer (.msi) trouble.
If the things are really like that, i think that a 1.2.X fixed version
it is needed (ahem, please... ;).
Or a quick release of an 1.4.X version. ;)

I'm still using 0.90, and surely i don't try to upgrade using the
procedure explained on:

	http://wpkg.org/WPKG

because it is now clear that are dangerous and could lead WPKGClient to
an unusable state.


I seeks to this point some more feedback, i think it is very important.


PS: and if we simply throw away the .msi installer and prepare a simple
 batch script that do the job, copy files, setting registry keys, ...
 In another way: what do the .msi installer on a *upgrade* process? Can
 be substituted with a simple cmd script?
