WPKG Client 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 Client comes as a MSI package and you can install it silently like below:
== Configuration Advanced installation == If for some reason you can't use MSI, you can install WPKG Client manually[1]: * You need the files - the easiest way is to install WPKG Client on one machine, and copy contents of <code>%PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg\</code> to another machine * Start cmd.exe and run: prompt> cd %PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg prompt> wpkgsrv /install WPKG Service installed. If it throws an error, there is something fishy - most likely missing libraries (dll). You can check what libraries are missing with [http://www.dependencywalker.com Dependency Walker]. * Configure settings: prompt> wpkginst Put notepad as "execute before", and check "Show GUI". * Start the service - it should start notepad.exe: prompt> net start "WPKG service" It should start without errors, and notepad.exe should start shortly. If it works, configure the setting properly (users, paths etc.). = Configuration =
Use the 'WPKG Client' (wpkginst.exe) located in %PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg\ to configure such aspects as the user to log into the server as, the user to run on the local machine, whether to run silently or not, et cetera.
When testing and troubleshooting, you can start WPKG Client manually from within Windows' Services management section, by using the Start and Stop button for the 'WPKG Service', rather than by restarting the machine.
