No, WPKG does not crash on your system - this for sure not. And there is absolutely no need to wrap in in a try-catch clause. The reason is that whole WPKG is wrapped in a try-catch clause. So if anything throws an unexpected exception, then it will be catched and a nicely formated message will be logged to the event log. But more and more I have the feeling that your event log does not work as expected and either it just "hangs" there (Windows call hangs, not WPKG) or it is simply ignored. I see from your logs that every debug message is printed up to the point that the language-local user notification should be logged to eventlog. Next entry would be something like: 2008-04-18 06:45:46, INFO : User notification suppressed. Message: Das WPKG Software-Installationstool in... This message would be logged to event log using the logEvent() method I already pointed out. So you might do the following: Check your event log for errors (Application and System logs - see above how to reach there). Then clean all the logs. Run WPKG and check the event log for a user notification entry - or even more output depending on the number of packages to be installed. If it still does not work for you, then try disabling quiet mode (remove /quiet flag, set quiet flag to false within config.xml) and run WPKG on the command line: cscript \\server\path\to\wpkg.js /synchronize Then check what is printed on the console. In fact I am quite sure that you will have some errors logged in your System log. They might help to fix your system. br, Rainer |
