OK, so offline mode sucks right now on some machines, especially when used with logon delay. I feel it needs a small redesign. Some machines seem to enable network much later (wireless, but also some wired ones) - even if technically the network is started alreay. There WPKG will almost never

Hi Tomasz, It is a correct switch, but using it prevents passing a proper exit code to WPKG Client. No, it does not. If used in the topmost script (not a sub-script invoked via call) it will also terminate cmd.exe with the given code. Whether /b is used or not, it will exit a script with
