This domain is run by samba4, I don’t know if there is trouble to do so. When I try to deploy with http://wpkg.org/WPKG_Client#Group_Policy_WPKG_mix I don’t work and trow an error wich says : &lt;file:///\\domain.tld\wpkg\wpkg.js&gt; \\domain.tld\wpkg\wpkg.js (2318,3) (null) : Le module Spécifié n’existe pas (specified module don’t exist) And it fails. What I’m I doing wrong ? Did someone as a clue to resolv this, and lead me to the good way ? Users can access the \\domain.tld\wpkg &lt;file:///\\domain.tld\wpkg&gt; share. Hosts are push by the python script from AD. The batch file : &lt; at &gt;ECHO OFF cscript \\serv.domain.tld\wpkg\wpkg.js /install:gplwpkgclient *** It give the same error without a batch like in the wiki The package file: &lt;package id="gplwpkgclient" name="WPKG Client 1.3.14" revision="2011.04.20.00" reboot="</pre> Renaud ROLLES 2013-01-09T17:30:25 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.package-management.wpkg.user/8849 <pre>Hello, Has anyone managed to deploy G/Drive without having a Google Apps subscription? I found http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=2490101 which points to an out of date msi, https://dl.google.com/drive/gsync_enterprise.msi. Am I missing something here, can G/Drive be deployed or is it not aimed at that type of market?

Now there's a rather strange check result: &lt;check result="true" value="%PKG_VERSION%" path="Adobe Flash Player .+ Plugin.*" condition="versiongreaterorequal" type="uninstall"/&gt; &lt;check result="false" value="%PKG_VERSION%" path="Adobe Flash Player .+ ActiveX.*" condition="versiongreaterorequal" type="uninstall"/&gt; &lt;/checkResults&gt; The tests were: &lt;check type="uninstall" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="Adobe Flash Player .+ ActiveX.*" value="%PKG_VERSION%" /&gt; &lt;check type="uninstall" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="Adobe Flash Player .+ Plugin.*" value="%PKG_VERSION%" /&gt; Both registry keys don't exist now. Why is one of the results true, the other one false? When I add the profile to the host again the ActiveX and the Plugin Version is reinstalled. I thought the check is skipped, if there's a positive result in wpkg.xml. Why is the Plugin installed? Thank you in advance.

Anyway, i've setup a test recipe (for WPKG-GP, of course) and added to profiles.xml: &lt;profile id="default" architecture="x86" &gt; &lt;depends profile-id="base" /&gt; &lt;package package-id="xptweaks-disable-csc" /&gt; &lt;/profile&gt; &lt;profile id="default" architecture="x64" &gt; &lt;package package-id="wpkg-gp" /&gt; &lt;package package-id="wpkg-gp-settings" /&gt; &lt;/profile&gt; If i start WPKG on the win7 x86 box, in the log i can see that wpkg correctly idetify the os as 'x64', apply profile 'default' but start to install packages on 'base' profile plus 'xptweaks-disable-csc' packages. What i'm missing? Thanks. </pre> Marco Gaiarin 2013-01-04T17:06:48 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.package-management.wpkg.user/8834 <pre>I'm trying to push out the Google Drive Sync client to our workstations. This is the package I'm using: &lt;package id="GoogleDrive" name="Google Drive" revision="1" priority="1"&gt; &lt;check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Google\Drive\googledrivesync.exe" value="1.6.3837.2778" /&gt; &lt;install cmd='msiexec /qn /l* "C:\TMaLog\GoogleDrive.log" /i "%SOFTWARE%\GoogleDrive\gsync_enterprise.msi"' /&gt; &lt;/package&gt; For the check I've tried both "uninstall" &amp; "file". The software seams to install just fine. In the event viewer it says the Windows Installer completed successfully with 0 errors, but then on the next line it says failed check after installation. The .log file from msiexec also says it was successfully, but when I log into the workstation the msiexec process is still running, but 0% activity. Now every time I reboot it tries to install again, even though it's already installed. So why are my checks failing? </pre> Barry Ralphs 2012-12-14T19:31:45 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.package-management.wpkg.user/8833 <pre>We have several computers that are slow and are very out of date. We are going to run WPKG once a day at shutdown/reboot. Just wondering if anyone has come up with a way to limit the number of packages that are installed during a single run of WPKG or better yet something that prevents WPKG from installing more packages once a certain amount of time has elapsed?

I considered creating wpkg packages for the crapware with only a "remove" section to a) simplify cleanup, and b) ensure that machines remain clean, since a handful of users will be retaining local admin privileges. So, my questions: * Has anyone else tried this? Do they have any package definitions to share? * Should I bother posting these package definitions to the wpkg wiki? I don't want to load up the wiki with entries for software no one would ever use, but I know that other folks may also benefit from these definitions. Thanks! Jon </pre> Jon Goldberg 2012-12-14T00:32:24 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.package-management.wpkg.user/8819 <pre> Hello, I've been updating all of my package definitions so that they work properly in a mixed 32/64 environment, but I'm having a problem in that the architecture seems to be getting ignored. For example, in my iTunes package I have the following: &lt;install architecture="x86" cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\itunes\%version%-x86\AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi" /passive /norestart /qn' timeout='300' /&gt; &lt;install architecture="x64" cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\itunes\%version%-x64\AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi" /passive /norestart /qn' timeout='300' /&gt; When WPKG runs however, it always runs the x86 version. If I switch the order around it still runs the x86 version. The same thing is happening on all of our workstations. I've made sure the package revision was incremented, I've even reimaged a few of the machines to see if that made a difference but it has not. Strangely, if I run wpkg.js in a terminal window with /debug, it tries to run the proper file (but fails due to the software variable no</pre> MReardon 2012-12-12T23:54:51 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.package-management.wpkg.user/8817 <pre>http://bugzilla.wpkg.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278 Summary: Wrong host match Product: WPKG Version: other Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: wpkg.js AssignedTo: mangoo&lt; at &gt;wpkg.org ReportedBy: pendl2megabit&lt; at &gt;yahoo.de QAContact: wpkg-users&lt; at &gt;lists.wpkg.org Hi Rainer, I encountered a new wrong host match.

And how to configure the WPKG client to actually log to the share with at least the hostname of the computer as the name. When I configured WPKG client to write a log to the share folder, the program crashes on startup with a "Microsoft Crash Report" -- unnerving to users who aren't expecting anything like that. Documentation is a litle confusing and unclear as to what the proper format should be and all that.

Calling installagent.bat that ships with the Avira Security Management Console works fine. The agent is installed. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to remove the program. Neither &lt;remove cmd='"%PROGRAMFILES%\InstallShield Installation Information\{F3493E2F-B147-4EDD-9AE2-5DEDB8776232}\setup.exe /s /f1%PROGRAMFILES%\Avira\Avira Security Management Center Agent\wpkg_uninstall_setup.iss"' &gt; nor &lt;remove cmd='MsiExec.exe /qn /X{F3493E2F-B147-4EDD-9AE2-5DEDB8776232}' /&gt; uninstalls the Agent. The first command doesn't use the response file. The second one says, the product isn't installed. I copied the mentioned F34... hash from HKLM / uninstall entry from registry. So it is definitely right.

This particular model uses Windows Embedded Standard 7 and has File Based Write Filter which intercepts write operations to the disk and keeps them in a cache memory instead (I had seen it in Windows PE previously) so nothing is written to the disk and the changes are erased (lost) on reboot.

So : Disable FBWF &gt; Reboot &gt; Install Software &gt; Enable FBWF &gt; Reboot So I have used WPKG-GP successfully to install some basic software (Flash Player and what not) after disabling FBWF but would there be a way to have WPKG disable the FBWF if software has to be installed, reboot, proceed to the install and then re-enable it afterwards (and reboot) without going in a reboot cycle ?
