Script source

WPKG file path (required) This is where your wpkg.js is located. You can specify its location in several ways:

\\server\wpkg\scripts\wpkg.js
\\192.168.1.1\wpkg\scripts\wpkg.js
W:\folder\wpkg.js

WPKG parameters Parameters you give to wpkg.js. By default, it is:

/synchronize /nonotify /quiet

You shouldn't change it, unless you know what you're doing.

WPKG path user This is the username which will access Script file path. It is recommended that you specify here non-privileged credentials - credentials only needed to access wpkg.js and your installers. Avoid specifying privileged credentials here (domain admins etc.), as they are not needed here. Examples:

WORKSTATION\username DOMAIN\user

WPKG path password Password for Script file path.

WPKG execution context

By default, we start all installers as a SYSTEM user. It is the recommended setting. Whatever you put in here, the user almost certainly needs administrative privileges. If your installation scripts require access to parts of your network other than the location where the wpkg scripts are located, then you may want to put in here a user/password that has read access to those network areas in addition to admin privileges on the workstation.

User Password Username and password of the user executing WPKG. Must have admin privileges (SYSTEM doesn't need a password).

General

WPKG variables

It is convenient to define a variable for the location of your setup programs. Most of the example silent installer scripts on the WPKG wiki use the variable SOFTWARE, so you should too.

Example: Name: SOFTWARE, Value: \\server\wpkg\software

Logon settings

Maximum logon delay (minutes)

If you enter a maximum logon delay, WPKG will allow the user to log on after the maximum number of minutes, even if installations are still in progress. It is probably a good idea to set a value here, in case you make a bad package that hangs indefinitely.

The two messages will display alternately while the user logon is being delayed.
