<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>What is the best way to accomplish that
goal?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
