[wpkg-users] Uninstall element vs Implied Uninstall.

[K.E.Jones at bton.ac.uk]

Hi Folks,

 I appreciate this would be a massive "behaviour" change for WPKG but it could probably be designed to be settable via command line or config.xml as a switchable behaviour.

 Seeing as WPKG already scans the registry for Uninstall keys to make checks, would it not make sense to assume that they are used if an uninstall element isn't supplied? They are most likely to contain command lines for uninstalls.

 It would certainly simplify package definitions.

 I know I'm being naïve and missing something here ? Maybe some documented future plans or something but I've trawled through the code and can't see where the keys are used anywhere in the install/uninstall process (in 1.1.0-M6 so I thought I'd mention it).

 It just seemed like a natural behaviour that might also assist zombie handling.

  Regards,

  Keith

PS: I might have a few bugs to submit shortly. It's been mad here and I'm way behind all the stuff I'd *like* to do :-)
