This is true for Windows 7 too. Personally I don't like this way of user notification too much (never use it personally). WPKG Client is supposed to inform the user in much more details about the currently ongoing activity. However also this does not work any more on Windoes Vista/7. Currently you might use the pre-/post-execution feature of WPKG client to notify users or change wpkg.js to use "msg" instead of "net send". In any case this way of notifying users is extremely limited and annoying in most cases. The dialog box cannot be "cancelled" by WPKG so it stays there until the user closes it. They also queue up and there is no possibility to overwrite displayed messages. So if the user is not at his desk he will find a message that WPKG starts updating, then he clicks OK and immediately has to close another message that WPKG finished. Alternatively msg offers a "timeout" where the message disappears automatically. But if the user does not read the message while displayed (let's say for 10 seconds...) he will not know that something is going on. Moreover this messages do not prevent the user to use the machine - so it's not much more safe than just doing all the work in the background. So I am thinking about allowing the administrator to define a timeout (or 0, so the message stays until the user accepts it) which defaults to 5 seconds. After that the notification will automatically close. It's just informing the user if he's at the desk and looking at the screen and it will anyway not prevent the user to perform any action. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.wpkg.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
