[wpkg-users] Trouble moving a PC to a different profile...

[Marco Gaiarin]

I'm triying to understood what happen (WPG 1.0.4).

A pc in profile 'default' moved to profile 'diretta' for some days,
then moved again to profile 'default'.

This PC try again and again everytime boots to 'install-before-remove'
the packages that was in 'diretta' and not in 'default'.

VLC example:


1) WPKG find in wpkg.xml that VLC was installed, and mark for remove
(right).

 2009-06-12 10:04:26, DEBUG  : Found installed package 'Video LAN Client' (vlc).
 2009-06-12 10:04:26, DEBUG  : Marking package 'Video LAN Client' (vlc) for remove

2) WPKG do an 'install-before-remove of the package:

 2009-06-12 10:05:08, DEBUG  : Going to install package 'Video LAN Client' (vlc), Revision 99001, (execute flag is '', notify flag is 'true').

3) WPKG remove the package, command exit successfully but the
 subsequent check of uninstall entry fail:

 2009-06-12 10:07:00, INFO   : Removing Video LAN Client (vlc)...
 2009-06-12 10:07:00, DEBUG  : Executing command: "%ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\uninstall.exe" /S

 2009-06-12 10:07:02, ERROR  : Could not process (remove) Video LAN Client.|Package still installed.

but the software is not installed, or at least after all the wpkg run
there's no VLC package in uninstall entry.


My VLC recipe is:

 <package
        id="vlc"
        name="Video LAN Client"
        revision="99001"
        reboot="false"
        priority="50">

        <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="VLC media player 0.9.9" />

        <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\vlc-0.9.9-win32.exe" /S' />
        <upgrade cmd='cmd /c if exist "%ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\uninstall.exe" "%ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\uninstall.exe" /S _?=%ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC' />
        <upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\vlc-0.9.9-win32.exe" /S' />
        <remove cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\uninstall.exe" /S' />
 </package>

And note that this is only an example, more packages do this, for
example:

 gaio at harry:~$ grep "Package still installed" wpkg-carpino.log 
 2009-06-12 10:06:49, ERROR  : Could not process (remove) Microsoft .NET Framework.|Package still installed.
 2009-06-12 10:06:54, ERROR  : Could not process (remove) Scratch.|Package still installed.
 2009-06-12 10:07:00, ERROR  : Could not process (remove) ToolBook Neuron.|Package still installed.
 2009-06-12 10:07:02, ERROR  : Could not process (remove) Video LAN Client.|Package still installed.
 2009-06-12 10:07:05, ERROR  : Could not process (remove) Windows Media Player 10.|Package still installed.

it is only a matter of a badly written recipe? Or i'm missing
something?

Thanks.
