I've found that grepWin can be a handy tool for finding and replacing text in several files at once:

When we first configured WPKG with test packages, the SOFTWARE variable was not entirely clear to us. Plus, we had (and still have) several places there the software installers reside. So instead we used UNC paths. Of course, now the practicality of the varialbe is clear! Just a quick check - is it possible to set more than one SOFTWARE variable in settings.XML? Say - SOFTWARE1 to one location, SOFTWARE2 to another, etc. Now that we are in limbo, it's a great opportunity to correct this mistake...

It's best-practice to declare a variable in the settings.xml that points to the server share for package files, and then use that instead of hardcoding server paths in packages.xml. <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\apps\firefox\Firefox Setup %version%.exe" -ms' /> It would also be a good idea to configure WPKG Client to look for wpkg.js at a generic name such as \\wpkg\wpkg.js<file:///\\wpkg\wpkg.js> and use a CNAME record in DNS to alias the "wpkg" hostname to whatever server actually holds the files. (I didn't do this but now I think I should...) On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 10:00 AM, Kenny Bayless <kbayl...@gmail.com<mailto:kbayl...@gmail.com>> wrote: > Please excuse the n00b question...
