It's a fine idea for these, if you follow the known rules.

Did you think to check popuplog.os2?

What registered classes? Are you making this stuff up? WarpIN is a PM
application, not a WPS application. There are no registered classes.

I'm sure 1.0.15 has flaws. Every application does.

Why? Unimaint does not know how to properly uninstall WarpIN.

Run eCSMT and let it correct the misinstall of the older WarpIN by the eCS
installer. This problem occurs so often, that I suspect it applies to you
as well. If you don't want to run eCSMT, hunt down all the copies of
wpirtl.dll and warpin.exe that eCS spewed about and make them go away.

This much is true. Of course, several newly released apps can not be
installed with anything less than 1.0.14 or so.

Sure you can. Every day I see questions from folks running the 1.7.x
series.

Peter? Oh you mean the guy whose WPS goes belly up every other week or
so. Of course, this is not really a problem for him since he is
essentially a command line user. He uses OS/2 like DesqView on steriods
and there's nothing wrong with this. I doubt you would survive for long
this way.
