Certainly, you did something wrong (paths? username? password?). What is the eventlog saying? One other thing you could try is to use the installer: http://wpkg.org/files/beta/installer/wpkg-installer-0.50.zip And restart the service periodically (via schtasks, as a SYSTEM user, so no password needed): net stop "WPKG service" net start "WPKG service" -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
