[wpkg-users] Trying to patch registry...

[Marco Gaiarin]

I'm trying to use wpkg to install tightvnc (i prefere it over ultra)
and apply some autoconfiguration.

I've do:

 <package
        id="tightvnc"
        name="TightVNC server"
        revision="129"
        priority="10"
        reboot="false">

        <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="TightVNC 1.2.9" />

        <install cmd="%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\tightvnc-1.2.9-setup.exe /sp- /verysilent"  />
        <install cmd="%ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\WinVNC.exe -reinstall" />
        <install cmd="%ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\WinVNC.exe -servicehelper" />
        <install cmd='netsh firewall add allowedprogram program = %ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\WinVNC.exe name = "Launch TightVNC Server"' />
        <upgrade cmd='%SOFTWARE%\WPKG\tightvnc-1.2.9-setup.exe /sp- /verysilent' >
                <exit code="0" reboot="true" />
        </upgrade>
        <remove cmd='%ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\unins000.exe /SP- /VERYSILENT' />
  </package>

And this seems to work well. Now i wont to setup tightvnc, and to be
able to change settings (most notably, password) via wpkg.

I've done:

  <package
        id="tightvnc-settings"
        name="TightVNC server settings"
        revision="1"
        priority="100"
        reboot="false">
        <depends package-id="tightvnc"/>

        <check type="file" condition="exists" path="%ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\1" />

        <install cmd="%WPKGROOT%\packages\tightvnc.bat 1" />
        <upgrade cmd="%WPKGROOT%\packages\tightvnc.bat 1" />
  </package>

where tightvnc.bat are:

  :: start, restart or apply settings to tightvnc
  ::
  net stop "VNC Server"
  regedit /s %WPKGROOT%\packages\tightvnc.reg
  net start "VNC Server"
 
  :: fake the stupid...
  ::
  echo "%1" > %ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\%1
 
  :: we ignore errors...
  ::
  exit 0

note the hack to create the file %ProgramFiles%\TightVNC\%revision%,
because the condition (also if there's no check condition!) are checked
before and after installation, so this package entry will fail.

What i'm missing? I've looked at other examples on:

	http://wpkg.org/index.php/Category:Changing_Windows_settings

but i've not found the clue...


PS: it is normal that on first installation a /synchronize only does
nothing, and i've to add a /force to instal something?
