Hello,
As you know Microsoft Windows Script (MWS) is required to run wpkg. On
my Windows 2000, wpkg wasn't working properly ("property file not found"
or something like that) until I updated MWS. Since wpkg can't be used
to install its own prerequisite, is there some other way to
intelligently, automatically install or update MWS for all our Windows
9x, ME, and 2000 systems?
For Windows 2000, I tried "scriptEN.exe /q", but even though I already
had the latest MWS, it installed again and then wanted to reboot..
Another problem is there are two different executables: one for Windows
9x/ME/NT and another for 2000/XP.
In summary, I am looking for a way to
- Pick the correct MWS installer (9x/ME vs 2000/XP)
- Not install MWS more than once
If you are thinking about the machines that are not yet installed (or
which will be installed), you may take a look at Unattended -
http://unattended.sf.net
Its aims are to automatize Windows installation and initial package
deployment (i.e., Windows installs, then some apps are installed
automatically, including scripten etc.).
Other way is to use some check, i.e., with such a logic:
if file cscript.exe exists, exit (or C:\windows\...\cscript.exe etc.)
if file cscript.exe doesn't exist, execute scriptEN.exe /q
You could write it in Windows batch.
