Hi,

> > What i changed was that i put "<param name='force' value='true' />" in my config.xml. Removing this entry results in wpkg working again just like before. I then tried to use /force from within the WPKG Client but it also fails and dies with "Objekt erwartet" just like with "force" enabled in config.xml.

Done. http://bugzilla.wpkg.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105

> There is another (smaller) unverified issue about registry checks which fail when the value contains backslashes. Probably both issues can be fixed until 1.0-final.
I really hope so since I'd like to deploy 1.0-final to all the servers my unattended&wpkg implementation will be used on.

> Unfortunately I am not using the /force switch that often - and alsoothers seem not to use it very frequently.
Yeah. I haven't used it at all so far but wanted to enable it to make sure that noone uninstalls any software by any other means than wpkg. In the end I won't have a choice and will have to use it because I cannot expect every local admin to not uninstall software by simply running the uninstallers themself. :/
