Using Robocopy in WPKG

RoboCopy allows you to copy files in restartable mode. If the copying process or network connection dies it will start where it left off instead of starting over and copying the entire file.
Robocopy Note that RoboCopy exit codes 0-3 are all success codes (http://ss64.com/nt/robocopy-exit.html).
WPKG has a bug that stalls wpkg.js if the command outputs too much text. RoboCopy tends to output a lot of text even when copying small files and RoboCopy doesn't have a silent flag so you have to use 5 different flags to disable all of the output.
<source lang="xml">
<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c robocopy /Z /NP /NDL /NFL /NJH /NJS "%Software%\7-Zip" "%Temp%\7-Zip" "7z%FileVersion%.msi"' >
<exit code='0' /> <exit code='1' /> <exit code='2' /> <exit code='3' />
</install>
</source>
<source lang="xml">
<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c robocopy /Z /S /NP /NDL /NFL /NJH /NJS "%Software%\7-Zip" "%Temp%\7-Zip"' >
<exit code='0' /> <exit code='1' /> <exit code='2' /> <exit code='3' />
</install>
</source>
</source>
This outputs the text to the log file instead of STDOUT which avoids the bug in WPKG.
 
 
Second Alternative way to disable output:
<source lang="xml">
/LOG:nul : Output status to virtual LOG file NUL (equal to UNIX /dev/null).
</source>
This outputs the text to nothing instead of STDOUT which avoids the bug in WPKG.
