Hi All,
Are you using wpkg to push out updates? Are you using wpkg to push out new apps so don't have to rebuild the whole PC?
I use unattended to install just the OS and wpkg on a machine. wpkg then takes over and adds the packages. (I was quite happy with unattended's package installation but I want to be able to add packages and remove them on the fly without reinstalling...)
It would be a pain to navigate through a .xml with 90 packages, how do users of wpkg manage?
I use a database of packages, computers and licences - XML files are built up from a query or two which makes things a bit more manageable.
I am currently using unattended and I looking at wpkg as a way to push out updates. I guess I could just use wpkg to call unattended scripts.
I started by converting unattended scripts into WPKG scripts. I had a few problems using autoit scripts (specifically the WinWait (?) commands didn't work) so you might be forewarned there. If it's really necessary to install software like that, I go back to unattended and reinstall the machine.
My long term goal is to allow users to make adjustments to the database for site-licenced software which get fed through to the XML files and enacted on reboot or when the service restarts.
