Hello, it's me again -.-
As the subject says, i'm trying to deploy WPKG client to some computers over
the network in order to widen my tests environment.
I follwed the instructions:
- created the getcomputers.vbs file
- ran it and obtained the hosts.xml file
- copied the file in a C:\Temp folder of the server, together with the
settings.xml file to deploy
- downloaded and installed PSTools in C:\PsTools
- opened a command prompt
- ran the command: c:\pstools
- ran the command psexec -h -u domain\useradmin -p userpassword
@"C:\Temp\hosts.xml" -d msiexec /i "C:\Temp\WPKG Client 1.3.14-x64.msi" /qb
SETTINGSFILE="C:\Temp\settings.xml"
The command prompt returned the message:
-------------------------------------------------------------
PsExec v1.98 - Execute processes remotely

\\PCNAME:
msiexec started on PCNAME with process ID 3196.

So everything seems to be ok. But if i then go to computer management,
connect to PCNAME and go to see the PCNAME services list, i don't see any
WPKG Service installed.
The PCNAME Event Viewer, in the System Tab, reports the following events in
a short succession:

I see no other errors nor warnings in the other Event Viewer Tabs.
The WPKG client is a small file, but i doubt it can auto-install itself in
less than one second.
The server from which i ran the psexec command runs Windows 2003 R2 x64,
while the target PC runs Windows XP x64.
So, again, what am i doing wrong?
Did you copy the files to C:\Temp on all the computers you want to
install them to?
If not, put them on a network share and install from there instead.
I install WPKG by a startup script that also checks that the service is
set to automatic.
