[wpkg-users] wrapper settings path mismatch problem

usually I do such upgrade things using a package, see attached.

In your case I think it would make sense to role out a (computer) group
policy like e.g.
 %PROGRAMFILES%\WPKG\wpkginst.exe
--SETTINGSFILE=\\your-logon-server\netlogon\wpkg\settings.xml
to get things right again.

Good luck,
Falko
