Sometimes, you may want to execute a program or a script each time WPKG runs (for example, to clean up a temp directory, synchronize time etc.).

To do this, use execute="always".

Another approach is when you want to execute a program or a script only once (for example, you want to remove a directory, set up permissions, or you're unable to produce any file or registry check).

To do this, use execute="once".

Below, an example for execute="always":

   <package

       id="time"

       name="Time Synchonization"

       execute="always">

       <install cmd="net time \\timeserver /set /yes" />

   </package>

Note

If you use execute once / always, then put your installation instructions as "<install cmd...", not as "<upgrade cmd...".
