I wasn't completely clear in my previous post. There are actually two questions I am asking. 1. It appears that when wpkg executes a command directly via the install, upgrade or remove options, that it does not do environment variable expansion. Is this the case? The wiki wishlist indicates this. Therefore, people are using cmd.exe to perform variable expansion, but doing this results in command windows popping up on the screen while a user is trying to login, which is rather annoying. Is using cmd.exe the only way to currently accomplish variable expansion? 2. Does the command used for install/upgrade/remove need to return only after it has completed? msiexec returns immediately, it does not wait for the install/upgrade/remove process to complete. Will this confuse the wpkg completion checking process? Some of the silent installers use 'cmd.exe /c start /wait' to run msiexec, some do not. Is the "start /wait" method needed or is wpkg smart enough to figure out when the installer is actually complete? Thanks, Josh __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
