Configuration files

These files tell WPKG how to run and are (in most cases) required for WPKG to run properly:

config.xml where various wpkg.js settings can be configured
hosts.xml and all files in the hosts folder defines the hosts and associated profiles
packages.xml and all files in the packages folder defines how to install and uninstall software packages
profiles.xml and all files in the profiles folder defines the software packages or scripts, which will be installed/executed on hosts.
settings.xml settings file used by the WPKG Client.
wpkg.xml the local list of installed packages - it is stored on a workstation locally

For more information about config files, please see: Config files

Server-side files

wpkg.js
the core of the WPKG utility

additional scripts and executables in the tools folder
helper files

Client-side files

These files are 'optional' for the program to run but are installed by the WPKG_Client software as of v1.1.2 to support a more user-friendly experience for end-users:

machines.txt This contains the list of machines configured on the Tools tab of wpkginst.exe
wpkginst.exe GUI configuration tool
wpkglogon.dll helper library for Logon
WPKGMessage.exe displays the 'Please wait..'-style message to the user while WPKG runs
WPKGSrv.exe the Windows Service file that will trigger the actual script to run
