[wpkg-users] WPKG installer preview

[Tomasz Chmielewski]

I would like to announce a preview of a WPKG installer.

Although it's a preview, it shouldn't differ much from the final version.


You can download it from wpkg.org/files/wpkg-installer.zip


It will be available with sources, with GPL license.


You can use the installer in two modes: GUI (point and click) and CLI 
(command line, for scripts, unattended installations etc.).


I. GUI

Here you double click on the installer, MSI file.

You have to specify a couple of parameters:

1. Script source

a) script path

a path to WPKG JScript script, for example, \\server\wpkg


b) script file

by default, wpkg.js


c) script parameters

by default, /synchronize /nonotify /quiet


d) script path user:

user to access share specified in "script path", in a form DOMAIN\USERNAME


e) script path password:

password for path user


2. Script execution context

a) user

user which will execute wpkg.js script; by default, SYSTEM

b) password

password


3. Script variable

a) name

variable name, which will be recognized by wpkg.js

b) variable value

For example, if you want to specify the variable:

set SOFTWARE=\\server\wpkg\software

you would specify in "Script variable name" SOFTWARE, and in "Script 
variable value" \\server\wpkg\software


II. CLI

You can also install it in a silent or scripted way:

msiexec /qn /i \\path\to\WPKGSetup.msi PARAMETERS=...

Where parameters are:

PATH=PATH FILE=FILE PATHUSER=PATHUSER PATHPASSWORD=PATHPASSWORD 
EXECUSER=EXECUSER EXECPASSWORD=EXECPASSWORD PARAMETERS=PARAMETERS
SILENT=NO SCRIPTVARNAME1=TOMEK SCRIPTVARVALUE1=EXAMPLEVARIALBE


Please send your comments, bug reports etc. here to the list.


If anyone can donate a nice WPKG logo, we'll all be glad :)
