Added a way to update settings with WPKG
** using a WPKG Client GUI (graphical user interface), where the settings file can be imported - just start <code>%PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg\wpkginst.exe</code> and use the "Import settings..." button
** using a CLI (command-line interface) mode of WPKG Client (recommended) - settings can be imported during installation, or later [[WPKG|(example)]]
== Changing settings with WPKG ==
We'll need two files to manage this first our usual xml file and then a batch script for the check.
<source lang="xml">
<package
id="wpkg-settings"
name="WPKG Settings"
revision="1"
priority="100"
reboot="false">
<check type="execute" path="%SOFTWARE%\..\scripts\wpkgsettings.bat" condition="exitcodelessorequal" value="0" />
<!-- Import the created file -->
<install cmd='"%PROGRAMFILES%\WPKG\wpkginst.exe" --import=%temp%\wpkgsettings.xml' />
<!-- Delete created settings files -->
<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /C if exist "%temp%\wpkgsettings.xml" del "%temp%\wpkgsettings.xml"' />
<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /C if exist "%temp%\exported-settings.xml" del "%temp%\exported-settings.xml"' />
<upgrade include="install" />
</package>
</source>
This file looks a little messy (if you know how to make it look tidier please feel free to sort it), as it creates the config file. We've modified ours to have a few variables in the config.
<source lang="bat">
