<DIV>Dear CL & List members</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your help. I ended up using the variable name that you suggested. Earlier I was looking for that exact variable to avoid the problem, but I didn't find it, so thanks for pointing it out. Now I have the following package definition:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><BR><packages><BR><!-- This package definition was made in order to remove Microsoft Office 2007 Trial that is preinstalled on some laptops --><BR><package id="office2007" name="Microsoft Office 2007 System" revision="1" reboot="false" priority="10"><BR> <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="2007 Microsoft Office system" /><BR> <remove cmd='"%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\Office Setup Controller\setup.exe" /uninstall PROHYBRIDR /dll OSETUP.DLL'><BR> </remove><BR></package></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV></packages></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now the package file is read alright. From reading previous mailing list postings about removing software, I was led to believe that if you made a package file, and then did not include it in a profile, then the remove command would be run on a host whose profile did not contain the package. I am trying to make wpkg uninstall a trial version of ms office 2007 this way, but nothing happens. How do I go about this? Can I use this way to remove software which has not been installed with wpkg?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards.</DIV>
