Hmm, I believe with unattended.sf.net you do it differently.
Take a look at your unattend.txt file. At the bottom, you should have
(if you don't, you can paste it):
; First script run by postinst.bat
top = "install.bat"
; Optional script(s) run by postinst.bat
middle = ""
; Last script(s) run by postinst.bat
bottom = ""
There, you can put the scripts you want to run after the OS is installed.
So, in this case, in scripts/install.bat, you would put:
:: Install WPKG
todo.pl "del \"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop\WPKG Parameters.lnk\""
todo.pl "msiexec /qb /i Z:\packages\wpkg-installer\WPKGSetup.msi
SETTINGSFILE=Z:\packages\wpkg-installer\settings.xml ALLUSERS=1"
to install WPKG client...
Additionally, you could add (WPKG service is not yet running):
:: Install other stuff with WPKG
todo.pl "set SOFTWARE=\\branchdc\unattended\packages && cscript
\\branchdc\unattended\packages\wpkg\wpkg.js /synchronize /debug /nonotify"
to start wpkg.js in a traditional way, now that we make a ver first
installation.
