I got it now :-)Note to myself: Use wpkg only for software - use logon scripts for per-user settings ;-)

Hi againWell, WPKG is not a really good tool to use for user-specific settings for a number of reasons. It is intended as a tool to install software for all users on a workstation.Your issue with "race conditions" is one example of this. WPKG sets the registry during boot (I am not sure how you execute WPKG though), and the setting is reset by the roaming profile. I would believe that configuring per-user settings is better done through a logon script (executed under the user's environment), or by utilizing a tool as Active Setup: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Setup to make sure all users on the computer has the same environment.I didn't explain it too well, did I? :) -CL2010/7/22 Sebastian Hoffmann <sebastian.hoffm...@pallas-group.de <mailto:sebastian.hoffm...@pallas-group.de>>Yeah thanks, that solved the problem with the Firefox package under W2K for me. I found a "newer" ;-) version, 2.4.2, under http://www.grossmatten.ch/share-freeware/Microsoft/SysInternals/PsTools%202.42/PsTools/ But what can I do when I have to set registry keys during delayed logon with roaming profiles? In my opinion they are always restored from the roaming profile during login when they first have been deleted by the uninstall cmd during delayed logon. Or am I wrong?

So I decided to use pskill instead of taskkill. But on the first run of pskill it asks the user to accept the eula. I found a .cmd file on http://forum.sysinternals.com/topic8783_page7.html which sets a registry values indicating that the eulas of all sysinternals tools have already been accepted. Now I tried to make my own package file with this command, but only working for pskill: <packages> <package id="pskilleula" name="Accept pskill EULA" revision="1" reboot="false" priority="99"> <check type="registry" condition="equals" path="HKCU\Software\Sysinternals\PsKill\EulaAccepted" value="1"/> <install cmd='REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Sysinternals\PsKill" /v EulaAccepted /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f'> <exit code="0" /> </install> <-- <upgrade cmd='%SystemRoot%\System32\msg.exe * /TIME:10 "upgrade"'> <exit code="0" /> </upgrade> --> <remove cmd='REG DELETE "HKCU\Software\Sysinternals\PsKill" /v EulaAccepted /f'> <exit code="0" /> </remove> </package> </packages> The value gets correctly set and works fine. My problem now is the remove command: When a client is booting up the registry key gets deleted by wpkg irunning in delayed logon mode. But when I login as a domain user using roaming profiles, the old registry becomes restored from the roaming profile on the server and the key also gets restored. But the wpkg.xml file in system32 has already deleted all information belonging to "pskilleula" and the package is marked as not installed. I know, it doesn't make much sense to remove this key, but I'm interested in the problem itself. How can I act in such circumstances when designing my own package files?-- Mit freundlichen GrüßenSebastian Hoffmann -Pallas Group- P+O Compact Disc GmbH & Co.
