[wpkg-users] lame question

[Martin Tille]

Hello Maurizio,

why not use check type uninstall instead of checking via registry? Go to
Control Panel -> Software and look up the exact name for Zimbra Desktop.

<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Zimbra Desktop" />

Beware of later version control mechanism if only Zimbra Desktop is
published as Display Name.

Regards - Martin :<)
