[wpkg-users] Windows 7 Home
Hi, I've noticed this thread WPKG on Windows 7 from last month (ufortunately I wasn't subscribed then) but some things are still not clear to me: 1. Have any of you managed to run gp-script on Windows 7 Home? 2. Why WPKG service isn't running properly on Windows 7 shutdown? I've seen programs that make backup on shutdown (probably through OnShutdown event) and they run with messages on screen without problems even for a very long time. Here is example screen from such a program http://www.ferrobackup.com/pl/picture.php?sfilename=shutdown-backup.jpg (it's from Vista but works also on Win 7).

As for 2nd point: maybe you could register for SERVICE_CONTROL_PRESHUTDOWN notification with RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerEx as here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc164252.aspx MS says that The SCM will wait (potentially indefinitely) for all of the pre-shutdown services to stop before proceeding with its traditional services shutdown process Regards, Chris - 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

I've made a special CD for installing XP, and it set's by default the remote access option. I combine it plus Wake on Lan capabilities and works great here... may be you have a different use case and can share with us your experience.

This means - you can't troubleshoot a user problem with the user showing you what went wrong - you dismiss possible error screens that you were supposed to look at (not every user is able to mail you a screenshot - especially if mail isn't working ) I know there's remote assistance available via the windows help menu - we tried that (because it's free!) but though it works pretty well once established, most times establishing the connection fails. And for non-expert users, it's still a bit complicated. We used UltraVNCs QuickSupport tool for quite a while, but that needs a ton of bandwidth and crashes a lot. Now we're a happy TeamViewer customer. It just works, that's really really cool.
