What version of wpkg do you use?

You can test with the following package, if wpkg works as expected:

<packages>
        <package
           id="testbug28"
           name="Test Bug 28"
           revision="1"
           reboot="false"
           priority="9" >
        <check type="file" condition="exists"
path="%ProgramFiles%\bugtest.txt" />
        <install cmd='cmd /c "echo Bugtest >%ProgramFiles%\bugtest.txt' />

        <upgrade cmd='cmd /c del /q "%programfiles%\bugtest.txt' />
        <upgrade cmd='cmd /c "echo Bugtest2 >%ProgramFiles%\bugtest.txt' />

        <!-- uncomment next line to test for bug #28 -->
        <!-- <install -->

        <remove cmd='cmd /c del /q  "%programfiles%\bugtest.txt' />

        </package>

</packages>


Please try  WPKG 1.0-rc4 from http://wpkg.org/Download and provide a log
file with logLevel=0xFF.
