[wpkg-users] Can WPKG install packages while user is at desktop

[Steve Handy]

So then why is it that if I run this command manually from the WPKG doesn't  install the packages.  Basically I have a test setup where I have WPKG set to install firefox browser. Now I unistalled the software but I didn't reboot because WPKG will install it.

Now when I execute the command from the run box, the WPKG doesn't install the software? I don't see the WPKG actually installing the software.

in XP SP2: start, run, control panel (in classic view), scheduled tasks, 2x click on add scheduled task, hit next.

i use the dos client, so i have it run cscript \\server\wpkg\wpkg.js /synchronize /quiet and then set it to run when you want (certain time, at logon, etc)

dunno what the command is for the WPKG GUI client, i've never used it.

sure, set it as a scheduled task in the control panel

Can WPKG install software while a user is logged into and working from their

desktop instead of when a user machine is booting up? This would help

tremendously when a user doesnt have a network connection on a initial boot.
