[wpkg-users] install the wpkg client manually

Hi Tomasz,

Could you please add this to the Wiki, too?

Perhaps the possibility to download a zip with the wpkg client files
without the installer/msi would be nice to have, a small script -
something like

-----------------------------
net stop wpkgservice

xcopy /v /s /i /e /h /c /y /q "%install_loc%\wpkgclient"
"%PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg"

cd %PROGRAMFILES%\wpkg

wpkgsrv /install

net start wpkgservice
-----------------------------

(untested) could be enough to install ...

Questions remaining:
What about wgalogon.dll? Is it registered when wpkgsrv /install is started?
And is there something like wpkgsrv /uninstall?

Something for the wiki, too :)

Thank you for your good work!

Best regards,
Falko
