[wpkg-users] remove does not work of type <check type="file" condition="versionequalto" path="%programfiles%\pidgin\pidgin.exe" value="2.5.3.0" />

[Johannes.Brix at evidian.com]

Hello,

I don't know if this is a bug of wpkg.js or of my config, 
but removing this package doesn't remove it from wpkg.xml.

<package
   id="pidgin"
   name="Pidgin"
   revision="2530"
   reboot="false"
   priority="1">
   <check type="file" condition="versionequalto" 
path="%programfiles%\pidgin\pidgin.exe" value="2.5.3.0" />
   <install cmd='cmd /C taskkill /F /T /IM pidgin.exe' >
      <exit code='1' />
      <exit code='128' /> 
   </install> 
   <install cmd='\\evd-ads2\wpkg\Pidgin\pidgin-2.5.3.exe /L=1031 /S /NOUI' 
/>
   <install cmd='\\evd-ads2\wpkg\Pidgin\pidgin-install.cmd' />
   <upgrade cmd='cmd /C taskkill /F /T /IM pidgin.exe' >
      <exit code='1' />
      <exit code='128' /> 
   </upgrade> 
   <upgrade cmd='\\evd-ads2\wpkg\Pidgin\pidgin-2.5.3.exe /L=1031 /S /NOUI' 
/>
   <upgrade cmd='\\evd-ads2\wpkg\Pidgin\pidgin-install.cmd' />
   <remove cmd='\\evd-ads2\wpkg\Pidgin\pidgin-remove.cmd' >
      <exit code='0' />
   </remove>
</package>

---------------------------------------------------------

Pidgin has been properly removed, but WKPG is not able to remove it from 
the list. 
>From the log, I see that wpkg.js checks the file version of pidgin.exe,
but this file doesn't exist any more.
It seems that it is checking some cached data.
Perhaps, there is refresh needed somewhere.

Thank you for your help and kind regards,

Johannes
