My experience is that this is *mostly* true.<br><br>For example if you decide to roll out v1 of a package but a user has already manually installed v2 and your check only looks for v1 files then you could potentially have a situation where wpkg tries to install the older version on top of the newer version. This would happen when your check conditions fail even if the software is already installed.<br>
<br>My advice would be to setup a test environment first, rollout wpkg to a select pilot group of patient users and then introduce the across the rest of your machines.<br><br>BTW are users really able to install anything they want in your environment? Sounds like a recipe for potential disaster!<br>

WPKG will only manage software it installs/uninstalls, it will not touch user installed software.<br><font color="#888888">
