[wpkg-users] Copying a shortcut from a network share to desktop?
Hi all, I've been trying to work this out but have tried for too long - is there any way I can copy a shortcut from a network share (within the WPKG %SOFTWARE% directory on our server) to the desktop of a computer? I think I have got close but it continues to tell me that the file does not exist when WPKG processes line 2: package id=CH4EnvChangeShortcut name=CH4 Environmental Change Shortcut revision=1 reboot=false priority=0 install cmd='net use x: \\10.251.193.3\MMedia\Shortcuts' / install cmd='copy x:\CH4 Environmental Change.lnk C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop' / install cmd='net use x: /delete /yes' //package The shortcut definetly exists and is named as above. Help much appreciated, I have a number of apps which only need a shortcut placed for the user to access and getting this to work would be excellent!

Re: [wpkg-users] Possible to have subfolders with packagexyz.xml?
Hi Mike, Mike Burgener wrote: Is it possible when i have package-path \\server\wpkg\packages\ containing different files with [packagename].xml having a subfolder like \\server\wpkg\packages\packagefolder1\[packagename].xml ? WPKG does not traverse subfolders when opening XML files from a directory. It's also not intended to change this mainly due to performance and possible recursion problems. So the packages directory is a flat directory but you might give any name to your XML files so there is no reason why sub-directories would be required. br, Rainer - wpkg-users mailing list archives http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ ___ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
[wpkg-users] Problem with variables
Hello, I have a problem when using variables in a package definition: = ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'? packages package id='disable-network-services' name='Windows XP disabled network services' revision='1' reboot='false' priority='700' variable name='NETCFG' value='%WPKGBIN%\snetcfg_wxp.exe'/ check type='logical' condition='and' check type='execute' path='%ComSpec% /c %NETCFG% -q ms_psched | %WPKGBIN%\grep.exe is not installed'/ check type='execute' path='%ComSpec% /c %NETCFG% -q ms_alg | %WPKGBIN%\grep.exe is not installed'/ check type='execute' path='%ComSpec% /c %NETCFG% -q ms_gpc | %WPKGBIN%\grep.exe is not installed'/ /check install cmd='%ComSpec% /c %NETCFG% -u ms_psched' exit code='0'/ exit code='1'/ /install install cmd='%ComSpec% /c %NETCFG% -u ms_alg' exit code='0'/ exit code='1'/ /install install cmd='%ComSpec% /c %NETCFG% -u ms_gpc' exit code='0'/ exit code='1'/ /install /package /packages = The check works: Execute check for program 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c %WPKGBIN%\snetcfg_wxp.exe -q ms_psched \| %WPKG%\bin\grep.exe is not installed' returned '0'. Evaluating condition 'null' revealed true when comparing to expected value of '0' Execute check for program 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c %WPKGBIN%\snetcfg_wxp.exe -q ms_alg \| %WPKG%\bin\grep.exe is not installed' returned '1'. Evaluating condition 'null' revealed false when comparing to expected value of '0' Result of logical 'AND' check is false but not the install commands with the variable: Executing command : %ComSpec% /c %WPKGBIN%\snetcfg_wxp.exe -u ms_psched Command '%ComSpec% /c %WPKGBIN%\snetcfg_wxp.exe -u ms_psched' returned exit code [1]. This exit code is not an error Command in installation of Windows XP disabled network services returned exit code [1]. This exit code indicates success Executing command : %ComSpec% /c %WPKGBIN%\snetcfg_wxp.exe -u ms_alg Command '%ComSpec% /c %WPKGBIN%\snetcfg_wxp.exe -u ms_alg' returned exit code [0].

Command in installation of Windows XP disabled network services returned exit code [1]. This exit code indicates success. Before WPKG runs: - ms_psched (QoS) is not installed - ms_alg is installed - ms_gpc is installed ms_gpc is never removed, the return code should be 0 like with ms_alg but it's not. wpkg.js version 1.1.0-M8 from[1].

Re: [wpkg-users] Copying a shortcut from a network share to desktop?
Hi Chris, package id=CH4EnvChangeShortcut name=CH4 Environmental Change Shortcut revision=1 reboot=false priority=0 install cmd='net use x: \\10.251.193.3\MMedia\Shortcuts' / install cmd='copy x:\CH4 Environmental Change.lnk C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop' / install cmd='net use x: /delete /yes' //package I think the problem here is that copy is a command built in to the command interpreter CMD, not an executable program. Two ways around this: 1) Start a CMD session to run the command: cmd /c copy x:\path\go.lnk %AllUsersProfile%\Desktop or 2) Use the 'xcopy' command, which is provide by a separate program: xcopy x:\path\go.lnk %AllUsersProfile%\Desktop As an aside, I think the following commands are built-in to the CMD shell and therefore will need the 'cmd /c' treatment if anyone is to use them.

Rainer Meier r.me...@wpkg.org writes: Hi Daniel, Hi, It's correct that the code to set variables needs some re-work/re-design. This is one of the reasons I recommend not to use them extensively at the moment. Ok. Did you think about moving these extensive execute script from the single-liner within the package XML file to a CMD script? Such a [...] This gives you much more flexibility to extend/refine checks as needed and format them in a much more user-readable way.

Re: [wpkg-users] Problem with variables
Hi, Yes, I already said that I need to give a try to your cmd scripts ;-) Oh, didn't remember that it was you - sorry, it was not my intention to offend you in any way :-) This is just my point of view and my personal way of working with WPKG. I just hope it helps you to achieve your goals with WPKG. WPKG became a very flexible system and there are always multiple ways to reach the target functionality. Some ways might work better and others might not be reliable at all ;-) br, Rainer - wpkg-users mailing list archives http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ ___ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
