If you use WPKG with robocopy, you have to set the /log: variable in Robocopy, otherwise the Copyprocess will fail (at least in Windows 7 Professionell 64 Bit German, haven´t testet it with 32 bit).

i tried to copy a whole folder with the following install command: <install cmd='robocopy.exe %SOFTWARE%\pdfsam\ "%PROGRAMFILES%\PDFSAM" /mir' />

As a result, only a few files were copied, and the script hangs till timeout

I found out, that with the /log: parameter, robocopy works as intended

<install cmd='robocopy.exe %SOFTWARE%\pdfsam\ "%PROGRAMFILES%\PDFSAM" /mir /log:%temp%\robocopy.log' />

for %temp% you can use any other path you like
