[wpkg-users] Thanks for everything - WPKG is nice but it still needs improve

[Steve Handy]

Alright Leon and Jens it worked. Took a while, but we got it. Cool. I also tried to rerun the script again it didn't reinstall it. Okay. The force switch works. My faith has been restored.


Thanks so much
Steve

I've noticed WPKG not installing the application again after it has been uninstalled by a user manually a couple times too but I never actually tested it since i knew there is the /force parameter (which currently doesnt really work ;).
Since I currently have the resources (test servers and clients as many as I want/need) and time I'll run a couple tests in my test environment tomorrow and supply you with my finding on the issue.
The ultimate goal here should be to get WPKG as bug-free and yet feature-rich while still useable. ;)

From your other email:

I recently found this link ( http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html ) to be quite a good and amusing read. It was written by the author of the Telnet/SSH client PuTTY.
