WPKG Installer

WPKG Installer is the client side of WPKG. It provides a service which automatically runs WPKG each time a machine is turned on and a graphical interface for configuring how it will run.

WPKG Installer is available from the Download page

Files

These files are included in the WPKG Installer zip archive:

WPKGSetup.msi - the installer for WPKG Installer

install.bat - this is an example script that will run the installer for WPKG Installer (WPKGSetup.msi) with an example set of parameters that will pre-configure WPKG Installer.

Configuration

Use the 'WPKG Parameters' desktop shortcut to configure such aspects as the user to log into the server as, the user to run on the loca machine, whether to run silently or not, etcetera.

Troubleshooting

When testing and troubleshooting, you can start WPKG Installer manually from within Windows' Services management section, by using the Start and Stop button for the 'WPKG Service', rather than by restarting the machine.

Look in Windows' Event Viewer for explanations of what might have gone wrong, and reports of parts going right.
