      Hi again, 
  In the java_x86.log file, I could see that the 1603 error was caused because the java was already installed.  So I added an exitCode='1603' and it fixed the problem.  There was also another similar problem with another install command.  I added the appropriate exitCode and it seems to work fine now.  I didn't know the /L option.  That was very helpful. 
  Concerning FlashPlayer, I removed the file tests and it works fine now. 
  
  Thanks a lot for your help. 
     
 
 I would not add the exit code 1603 as being successful, since it can have many reasons.
 
 I would change the package to always check if there is already the same or a higher version installed.
 
 <package id="JRE8"
     name="Java Runtime Environment 8"
     revision="%JRE_VER%"
     reboot="false"
     priority="10"
     precheck-upgrade="always">
 
 The attribute "precheck-upgrade" will force WPKG to run the checks before the package is upgraded, so you avoid problems with packages that don't upgrade if the same version is already installed.

Hi again Stefan,
I didn't know about precheck-upgrade.  That's very convenient.  I removed the exit code elements and added the precheck-upgrade and it works very well.
Big thanks for your help.
Frederic
