Hello Peter, Personally, I would have a central text file (on the wpkg server) that contains lines like:
Hostname:serial number I'd then write a script that would be run before the Acrobat install line in your xml file. This script would read through the central text file, looking for the provided hostname - first argument to the script, and return the serial number. If this script is ran for a dos For command, you could then assign the serial number to a variable which you'd then add to your Acrobat install line. Yes, it would require writing something to do some file reading and return a value but at least you can use the same xml file everywhere and maintain one central config file.

I have different installations for Acrobat 8 each with its own serial number. Now I'd like to read all of these serials within the package or even better from the profile-definitions (I think it would be better to set the serials in a company-based profile to "isolate" the serials from different companies but using the same package everywhere...) something like this "idea": <check type="host" condition="hostname" value="host1" /> -> serial1 <check type="host" condition="hostname" value="host2" /> -> serial2 <check type="host" condition="hostname" value="host3" /> -> serial3 If it's just on serial for a customer, I am using a variable in a company-based profile.xml, but with different serials for the same package, it's a little bit confusing ... ;-) How do you guys handle such issues ?
