'''Write a client-side installer for WPKG.'''
 
It should have the following features:
 
 
* command line for "silent" installation:
 
** ability to specify credentials under which "cscript \\path\to\wpkg.js" will be executed
 
** ability to specify the path to wpkg.js
 
** no checks performed (like in GUI - below)
 
** can be easily written with the help of cygrunsrv from Cygwin - we'll just need the cygrunsrv executable and a Cygwin dll
 
** run periodically - i.e., specified time from the last time, or at intervals (hourly)
 
 
Examples:
 
 
    wpkg-install.exe --user Administrator --pass s3crEt --path \\server\wpkg
 
 
    wpkg-install.exe --user DOMAIN\Administrator --pass s3crEt --path \\192.168.111.200\wpkg
 
 
This one would be executed as SYSTEM:
 
 
    wpkg-install.exe --path P:\wpkg
 
 
 
GUI:
 
 
* possibly written with the help of Inno Setup
 
* it should check, if cscript (needed to run wpkg.js) is available in the system (if it isn't notify the user)
 
* it should ask for the path to wpkg.js, and credentials
 
* the installer should support many languages, defined in language.lang file (like en.lang, de.lang, pl.lang etc.)
 
New languages should be easily added by just copying a new language file to a directory with the installer.
 
 
Any takers? :)

If you have new ideas, please discuss it on the mailing list first.

You can also see the old wishlist.




Make IP-based profiles:


   <host ip="192.168.2.5" profile-id="profile01" />
   <host ip="192.168.2-6.5-126" profile-id="profile02" />

Hostname-based profiles should have precedence over IP-based profiles (or should IPs be more important?). Or make it configurable:

   <host order="hostname,ip" />




Make possible installing and uninstalling on a certain date (like "installdate = 23.07.2005", "uninstalldate = 01.02.2006")




Complete the web interface... use LDAP for that... ideas?
