WPKG-GP - alternative WPKG client using Group Policy Extensions
Configuration files
These files tell WPKG how to run and are (in most cases) required for WPKG to run properly:
config.xml |
Configuration settings for runtime behavior of wpkg.js
|
hosts.xml (and all files in the \hosts folder |
Mappings between machine names and profile names |
packages.xml (and all files in the \packages folder) |
Defines software packages (commands for WPKG to install/uninstall programs, etc.) |
profiles.xml (and all files in the \profiles folder) |
Specifies which packages will be installed/executed for each WPKG profile |
settings.xml |
Settings file used by the WPKG Client. |
wpkg.xml |
List of installed packages and commands (stored locally on each workstation) |
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 |
