FAQ
,→I installed an application with WPKG. Then, I uninstalled that appliation manually, using Control Panel (Software Add/Remove). WPKG doesn't reinstall those applications, why?
WPKG, or, [[wpkg.js]] to be more precise, keeps its own copy of installed applications (normally, you will find it in <code>C:\Windows\system32\wpkg.xml</code>). Before wpkg.js attempts to install, upgrade or remove anything, it consults this [[wpkg.xml]] file to see if any given program or file is not installed already.
Please read [[wpkg.xml]] for a more thorough description of why this such a local database is needed.
To skip checking the <code>wpkg.xml</code>, add a /force flag to <code>wpkg.js</code>.
