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 - defines the hosts and associated profiles
  • packages.xml - defines how to install and uninstall software packages
  • profiles.xml - 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 settings file - 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

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 - ?
  • wpkginst.exe - GUI configuration tool
  • wpkglogon.dll - ?
  • 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
