***SPAM***Re: [wpkg-users] question about checks

[W. Chris Shank]

Ok, so I guess I'm having a conceptual problem with the check process. The check that I currently have does the following (i think): 

if uninstall 'spybot' exists then 
install 
else 
it's already installed - do nothing 
end 

am i off the mark on what I think the check does?

Check condition is not met, and it triggers the installer. 

It's not WPKG's fault that the installer hangs. 


Correct your check condition, so that the installer is not started again 
(or, instead of uninstall, use "file" condition etc.).
