[wpkg-users] Prevent install and uninstall only for certain profiles/applications

[Kevin Keane]

I would like to use WPKG to preconfigure computers before deploying. Preconfiguring means: installing various standard software, as well as removing some bloatware. Synchronization will of course handle this very nicely.

My problem is that I would like to leave some software untouched - similar to what the /noremove switch does globally, but only limited to one particular package in one profile.

Specifically, my problem is with Microsoft Office. I have to have a package definition for Microsoft Office for some of my profiles, but on some computers, a different version Office may already be preinstalled. I don't want to replace that version, and of course I do not want to accidentally uninstall it either.

What is the best way to accomplish that goal?

Thanks!
