[wpkg-users] cmd /c hanging?

[Michael Chinn]

On a related item I tried for hours to get activeperl and a bunch of 
ppm's installed correctly with a batch file. xcopy,copy,robocopy would 
work on about 1 in 5 installs when copying files silently and take about 
10mins (as opposed to 2mins manually), I finally resorted to 7zip 
(7z.exe) on the target machine to unzip the remote file (a single zip) 
onto the target machine. From that point I ran all the commands to 
install from the local machine, clearing the package when it was 
installed. Also made copying faster (<60secs).
