I logged in as local admin and also tried logging in as a domain user
with access to the wpkg share that also has local admin privileges.  I
ended up configuring wpkg to use the domain user for access to the share
and the admin for execution context.  Is the access denied error coming
from the host or the samba share?

I am trying to use the download xml function to see if I get any
different results.  It appears to down load the file however when i try
to install the file wpkg can't find it.  I thought Windows stuck temp
files in %TEMP%?
