[wpkg-users] Read exitcode of previous install command?

[Nils Thiele]

Thanks for the working solution... in the end i used i different wpkg 
only method but this only works for iexplorer so will keep your solution 
for future packages

On our Systems (i guess all windows 7) even if iexplorer is deactivated 
using dism there is still a folder in Program Files with an exe called 
ieinstal.exe, this holds the same version number as the iexplorer.exe if 
it is activated.

So in my package i first have a install command using dism but with the 
condition that ieinstal.exe has a version number greater than the one 
from the installer.
After that i have the install command using the packaged exe installer, 
again with a condition that checks if the client is windows 7 and that 
either the iexplorer.exe version number is smaller than the one from the 
packaged installer or iexplorer exe doesnt exist at all.

install part:

     <install cmd='dism /NoRestart /online /enable-feature 
/featurename:%ie-feature%'>
         <condition>
             <check type="file" condition="versiongreaterthan" 
path="%PKG_DESTINATION%\ieinstal.exe" value="%exeversion%" />
         </condition>
     </install>
     <install 
cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\MS\iexplorer\IE11-Windows6.1-%arch%-%locale%.exe" 
%switches%'>
         <condition>
             <check type="logical" condition="and">
                 <check type="logical" condition="or">
                     <check type="file" condition="versionsmallerthan" 
path="%PKG_DESTINATION%\iexplore.exe" value="%exeversion%" />
                     <check type="logical" condition="not">
                         <check type="file" condition="exists" 
path="%PKG_DESTINATION%\iexplore.exe"/>
                     </check>
                 </check>
                 <check type="host" condition="os" 
value="professional.+6\.1\.\d{4}" />
             </check>
         </condition>
         <exit code='0' />
         <exit code='3010' />
         <exit code='40008' /> <!-- Greater Version installed -->
         <!-- exit codes from

     </install>
