Configuration settings for runtime behavior of wpkg.js
|
hosts.xml (and all files in the \hosts folder |
Mappings between machine names and profile names |
packages.xml (and all files in the \packages folder) |
Defines software packages (commands for WPKG to install/uninstall programs, etc.) |
profiles.xml (and all files in the \profiles folder) |
Specifies which packages will be installed/executed for each WPKG profile |
settings.xml |
Settings file used by the WPKG Client. |

Additional scripts and executables in the \tools folder |

These files are 'optional' for the program to run but are installed by the WPKG_Client software as of v1.1.2 to support a more user-friendly experience for end-users:

This contains the list of machines configured on the Tools tab of wpkginst.exe |
wpkginst.exe |
GUI configuration tool |
wpkglogon.dll |
Helper library for Logon |
WPKGMessage.exe |
Displays the 'Please wait..'-style message to the user while WPKG runs |
