Hi Rainer

It seems to run with your advice!
I´ve changed WinRAR Archivierer into WinRAR and the installation 
Quit without any error.

Thanks a lot

Most probably WinRAR 3.9.0 does not appear with the name "WinRAR Archivierer"
within the uninstall entries in the control panel.
You're using a check for uninstall entries so the string "WinRAR Archivierer"
has to match exactly the entry shown by Windows after the installation. If it does not match, then WPKG reports exactly the failure you get since your checks are not met.
