I have the wpkg client msi set up, with a settings/xml file in the
same folder, and distribute it via Active Directory. This works well.
However if I need to change the settings file, redeploying the package
doesn't update the settings. I *think* redeploying uses msiexec
/update to operate. My suspicion is that the settings file is only
imported into the client with msiexec /install. Am I right, and if so
can it be changed?
At the moment I have to create a new AD package and deploy it to
update settings. Not only that, but I need to remove the previous AD
package first. While this works, I want to minimise the traffic on the
wireless network, particularly during startup, as it has a serious
impact on lessons.
I am using the following package to change the settings.
BTW, it is always good to have separate packages for installation and
configuration, since the configuration can change more often than the
installation.
'---code start (watch for line wraps)
<package id="WpkgSettings" name="WPKG Client Settings"
revision="2011.06.26" priority="999" reboot="false"
execute="once">
<depends package-id="WpkgClient"/>
<install cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\WPKG\wpkginst.exe"
--SETTINGSFILE=%WPKG_ROOT%\settings.xml' />
<upgrade cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\WPKG\wpkginst.exe"
--SETTINGSFILE=%WPKG_ROOT%\settings.xml' />
</package>
'---code end
