To install it manually, do (tested on XP SP2): 1. You need the files - the easiest way is to install WPKG Client on one machine, and copy contents of %PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg\ to another machine 2. Start cmd.exe and run: prompt> cd %PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg prompt> wpkgsrv /install WPKG Service installed. If it throws an error, there is something fishy. 3. Configure settings: prompt> wpkginst Put notepad as "execute before", and check "Show GUI". 4. Start the service - it should start notepad.exe: prompt> net start "WPKG service" It should start without errors, and notepad.exe should start shortly. If it works, configure the setting properly (users, paths etc.). -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org |
